may not be race bike weight, but not far off. In fact, that’s just a smidge lighter than my daily ride. UCI has weight limits so most of the top end bikes that people spend huge money on are lighter than what the actual pros are pushing. That’s a good thing to remember, to keep yourself from going overboard on upgrades and not paying enough attention to your own fitness level. You know, something along the lines of Merckx’s “don’t buy upgrades, ride up grades.” I don’t know if that’s relevant or not, but it’s a longwinded way of saying that your weight is respectable. lighter wheels will make a big difference though. (The biggest difference) They don’t just reduce weight, they reduce rotational weight. That’s the most important weight to lose, besides any excess body weight (don’t worry, I’m not making any assumptions, mate) Add to that good tires and you’ve got a good setup going. It’s worth repeating though, that you’ll need to think hard about your ratios and the type of performance oriented riding you’re really after, before committing to drivetrain upgrades. If you’re still going son/gran compe for your wheels, what rims and spoke numbers are you considering, out of curiosity?
