Speaking of light weights , its amazing how light some of yhese bikes can get. My Giant carbon weighs @ 8 kg in total with drink cage and bike computer. You really feel the difference after jumping off the mountain bike.....feels like you're riding nothing at all and then you look at the speedo and realise you're doing 40 klmh........

My Merckx weighs in at 7.2kg with pedals, bottle cages x2 (no bottles), a nice light bike makes for a happy place especially when the gradient goes up.
