I think it’s mostly me and my bike are a little heavy and my leg muscles need some work as well. I lost 25 lbs so far this year and need to lose another 25 lbs. My bike weights 24 lbs which is heavy. I’m sure if it was like 8 lbs lighter it would make a big difference along with me losing weight.
What is the rush? Do you really need a 16 pound bike? Are you trying to become a pro racer in a matter of months?
