False,he would not benifit his cycling ability gaining muscle mass!! before you spend the cash on a lighter bike put in more time on the bike, what you will get out of that money can't buy.being 110 lbs nothing wrong with that, it's about power to weight ratio. i know a 120 lb woman that out climbs CAT 1 men!!!
she climbs over a very steep mountain in her big chain ring!! sitting down!! my self and others have to stand in are small chain ring to make it over. so bottom line muscle mass will slow you down!! work on your Aerobic fitness.
