"For me, the true disadvantage would be the engine, not the bike. "
but that's the point: for a given group of racers with similar abilities, lighter bicycles designed for racing offer the advantages needed to go faster, and thus, win a race. not finish a race, or keep up with the peloton - but win. that's the object of a race. seriously - if, all "engines" being relatively equal, you think a 25 lbs steel rig can keep up with something like a Pinarello Prince in a bicycle race - well, you are absolutely entitled to you opinion. believe me, i'd love it if my steel country bike was as fast as my ti racer, but it's simply not the case. it's not even close. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
