OK, good point on the TCX. I suppose I was looking at whole bikes and the TCX shocked me but likely they were going for a certain pricepoint and used diff parts than the TCR. Still...still... for a 3-4 lb frame/fork to have one weigh a whole pound more seems weird. Why is it? All I need is a bit more clearance... Does widening the spacing-gaps mean you need more material there and that plus the studs for the canti's ends up adding a pound?
Odd that, say, 1/2" max more spacing at fork crown would add much weight -- an ounce? For the frame all we need is a bit more space near the chainstays, BB and at the seat-tube.
Fietsbob, I'm confused: you've brought up frame-size twice now. And something about barriers and now how tall you are. Nobody has mentioned 60cm or barriers... ?
