+1 on the diet idea. After years of exercising to lose weight, I concluded that (for me) exercise is good, and holy, and should be done six days a week, but that it doesn't make me lose weight, it only makes me eat more.

That ideal bike weight is seen on pro riders, and, take a look, they just don't look healthy. I would not call it "ideal." Efficient, maybe.
There's a photo that pops up every now and then of one of the riders — a doper, I forget his name — that illustrates this well. I'm sure everyone has seen it.
Certainly someone of middle age needs more upper body strength than that kind of body formula allows.
