not trying to talk you into anything. but you could get a fine steel bike, an all carbon fork, some Ultegra Open Pro wheels, and come in at around 21 pounds. i am 195 lbs, understand what percentage of the whole weight package my bike is, and really enjoy getting on a lighter bike. i can almost guarantee if you reduce bike weight by 5 lbs, you will both notice and enjoy the difference. in your case, you could reduce bike weight easily by 10 lbs and you would feel as though you were flying.
