Until you have the lightest bike, you can blame it on the bike. That is why I say go for the upgrades. Buy the lightest stuff so you have no excuses but the one in the mirror.
I blame it on being 6'2" with a bigger frame that means 170lbs is probably the minimum I can get to.
Tiny people just had to have some place to lord it over the normal-sized folks.
When two people have essentially the same average power over a 1 mile, 7% climb and for one that means they're 15/240 and for the other 104/240 on the Strava segment that's oppression and should be illegal! hehe
