I'm aware of what my bikes weigh because it makes a difference on hilly rides or when I'm trying to ride with a group that's faster than I usually ride. I found road bikes over 22lbs tend to slow me down, under 20 tends to make me feel good about the bike. I have one C&V bike, a Fuji Team that fits into the under 22lb club. I don't think any other can make that claim but I'm not sure about the 86 Ironman.
I'm also aware of what I weigh. So last year I set out to lose weight and I did. I'm down 37 lbs.
Think of it, I was carrying around a spare Schwinn Varsity......with chrome wheels!
