I'd be interested in why the author thinks that handling gets sketchy below that weight. I suppose that if you tried to make a steel-framed bike that light with current technology it might well lack sufficient stiffness for predictable handling (and I'd worry about durability). But that doesn't appear to be the case with decently designed carbon-fiber frames.
