FYI, I¹ve ridden with Chris Kostman on a Rough Riders ride here in San
Diego. CK often thinks nothing of doing gravel roads and fireroads on
25-35s. So I¹m guessing that if he suggests that most people would want a

If you ride a 65, then 32 lb for you is like, what, 25 lb for me? (I'm

by 32 and fudge a bit ...). My Motobecane probably weighs unladen a good 25
