I vote no therapy needed. My line of thinking is that my road bike weighs under 20lbs already, and I only ride it <50mi on a good day. It doesn't need to be a new super-ultra light carbon something that weighs 14lbs. My touring bike/gear, however, I'm going to be on for a month or more and hauling all of the gear weight up hills day after day. That's where saving weight is more important to me. I've seen first hand in my riding the difference of hauling a heavy load vs. a light one. I have titanium cookware and light weight stove, a fairly light sleep pad, a very light backpacking quilt, and the DIY cuben tent is on the list for making this spring for overnight bike trips. I got the lightest panniers I could get for the rear too. The lighter the better. I bet those Ti tools are pretty sweet.
