I'm so glad that I don't count grams.
But imagine the weight saved if you lost 1/4pound of body took a 1/2pound poo before the ride AND 1/4pound of bolt weight, thats a full pound.

I think with a lot of weight weenies its not that they cant handle a few grams on their ride. It is more of a challenge and a hobby just to make the lightest bike they can.
