Sure - weight and power matter a bunch as does the type of riding you do.
I got a Raleigh 753 Team the year it won the TdF when I was a moderately fit 200#, 6'2". It was a noodle, but so great to ride - it was my primary bike. The bike I raced on at the time was about 3# heavier Columbus SP. I could not really bend that thing. Now - older and heavier I ride a Cannondale Six13. The bike impresses me. I buy all this cool stuff for my son, but the Six13 works.
