Personally I would not attempt to ride it, it would probably flex like a noodle, and then I'd break the wheelset. I weigh 170 and my pedaling style tends towards mashing.

With enough money I could probably build a 14.0 pound bike I would trust completely. Scott CR1 SL frame, Lightweight wheels, tuned Record, etc.
