Going against your coach is also not good for the relationship.
Yes. The 2014 Cannondale Super Six EVO 3 was advertised as 17.1 pounds, and the Bike Friday Pocket Rocket is about 27- 28 pounds (according to the salesperson who helped me order my specific bike). And no. There is no way to completely disassemble a full scale CF bike and fit it in a standard luggage bag.
As to going against my coach, our relationship is far more personal, mature and informal to cause it any distress from me riding a folding bike rather than her suggestion so I can enjoy a century ride that's not a race.
