We'll disagree on whether there is a performance gain for constant surges and sprints. I accept that you never realized a gain for those circumstances, but I take that in context with all of those who say that there was one.
If you think a significant percentage of forum members are 10% body fat, that is simply absurd. Take a look at photos of people who are actually at 10% body fat.
The stronger rider prevails. A 2 lb. weight difference in the bike doesn't matter. You should know that from personal experience.
