Hey Adam- Smart of you to think twice about committing to a high end bike, only to outgrow the frame since you're only 14 and growing. You might consider getting yourself a decent, lightweight wheelset which can significantly reduce your rotational mass. Even if your bike still weighs 24 pounds, if you lose the weight in your wheelset and get much smoother rolling hubs, it will noticably enhance your climbing and sprinting ability. Maybe something from Mavic, Bontrager, American Classic, etc. That of course you won't outgrow. Keep on ridin'!!
