Road warrior , you seem really angry at the idea that I might race with a 1/2 advantage over someone else. Chill out a bit. I have found most people on these forums feel that weight is not that important, and that training hard and losing body weight is much more of an issue. You are the first person to say they would not want to play with me if my bike was illegal. And unless I have read wrong, doesn't the UCI say their weight limit rule is to keep the bikes safe? So my advantage might then manifest itself into a disadvantage as I would be riding something very unsafe.
