Perhaps this is the real solution to life, the universe, and everything: just get a bigger cat!! We giant-cat-people know what's up.

This proves that a soul actually has mass -- this bike saves weight by having no soul.
I think that Hi-E pedals and MKS alloy toeclips will actually make my toeclips setup lighter than many clipless systems. Plus, I'm pretty confident that those pedals will give it more soul!! The Superbe pedals I have on there now are 300g, which makes them comparable to a set of Look, Speedplay, Crank Bros, or SPD pedals (even some of the carbon/Ti models), if you include the cleats.

But you know, I only ride in crocs. For lightness.
