Tell me about it. I have started riding at lunch with a co-worker and brought in my Xtra to ride. After swapping out the mtn bike tires for slicks and taking off the racks/bags, I was good to go for the 15 mile ride. He was drop jawed that I could ride such a beast. Usually my bike is 60+ lbs before I load anything and I was down to 30 or so for my lunch ride. But compared to his 10-11 lb (I'm guessin) road bike, mine was still a tank. In fact he has dubbed it the lead sled. But you know what? I was able to keep up with him easily until about mile 12. Not bad since I dont regularly ride more than 3 miles at a time. But when you are used to carrying 100+ lbs of stuff on a 60 lb bike over hill and dale, a 30lb bike on flat roadway is a treat
