True. But weight/carbon fiber will help with the speed and sprints.... I am trying to balance the "speed" part with the "extended riding" part. By the end of this distance, I am hoping to significantly bring down my times for everything ranging from 10km to 100km rides.
Already have a steel bike - the LHT..
