I guess what I'm saying is the 50 grams taken off the bike by buying a carbon seat post for $70 seems like nothing compared to a single lb of dead weight on your own body. I know being lighter is better, in general. I meant to ask what is the most efficient way to shave weight and get faster, though. If you have the money to drop on carbon or titanium, by all means...but I personally don't have that kind of money and I just like some of my heavier components. No need to argue, I just want to hear different opinions on the topic. For you, it just seems to be a closed subject.
Edit: Does anyone own the Time Crunched Cyclist? Is it worth buying?
