The aluminum frame on the hybrid worked great - never broke in 15 years of riding - but it weighed perhaps 30% more than the carbon frame that replaced it.
So yes . . . other differences, not just weight. But most all of those other differences ALSO included weight savings in the recipe. Thanks.
Wow ... you have to be one the most obtuse people around here.
You provide all of the other reasons that make more sense than weight and still claim weight at the end.
It really is a quite backwards thought process ... almost in a manner to justify a purchase.
I'd like to talk with you in person to analyse if you really believe what you're typing now. And, if you did, what's the motivation?
I'd buy you a pint just to hear it through.
