Excellent point! I don't think I've ever heard it so poinently put... Anyway, let's just put money aside for the moment ( at least hipothetically)...If I go super light (frame, fork, wheelset, etc.), is there any disadvantage? (other than cost) If I'm 175lbs. , might I crack a fork or something? FYI, I'm NOT interested in racing, - just trying to keep up with my kids. Grassy fields, muddy trails, gravel paths, etc.? Thanks for any opinions and/or advise.
