But while I love the word Hakkapeliita, there's no way I am going to put tires on a bike weighing 875g a piece.
It was right around the time this article came out that Bruce introduced his 43mm wide Rock 'n Road tires, designed by Joe Murray and made by Panaracer. If my recollection is correct the first version was under 600 grams. The current version, still available, is around 550g.
