OK, now that we have dispensed with helmets, allow me to raise another controversial topic.
This is not like, when am I too heavy, which is easy.... right now. I have 4 bikes, well 6 really, but we wont go into those details. All four of them are around 62 cm and get ridden regularly - a 1988 classic stage racing frame, weighing around 22 lbs; a Rambouillet, outfitted with White/ Open Pro wheels, a White dbl crank, Honjo fenders, a Mark's Rack, and light tires also weighing about 22 lbs.; a 1984 Trek (Reynolds 531 standard gauge tubing) with Shimano 9 speed cranks and shifters, SKS Fenders, Passella 32 mm T Guards and coming in around 25 lbs; and An Ebisu All Purpose, with front and real steel racks, steel fenders, MA 40 Rims, triple DaVinci Cranks, and 38 mm Avocet Cross tires that weighs in at a hefty 30 lbs. I live in Vermont, which has lots of rolling hills and some significant climbs. Do you think the 5 lbs alone, between the Trek and Ebisu is enough to effect the performance? What about the 3 lb difference between the Rambouillet and the Trek? Or, are the perceived differences imaginary? michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
