I built a 17lb lugged steel bike & still had room to cut weight. I do get your point, though. & I think the reference still has some validity. Truth told, tech sells. Especially in cycling. A certain demographic of people will pay to have what is thought to be "the best of the best". Current market pricing certainly reflects that. I wonder what one major magazine review can do to sales? Even if it's just propaganda. Not all is but, certainly a good portion of advertising in review, is.
