I weigh 170 lbs gringo. Dripping wet. That's not exactly Clydesdale material. Besides which the Addict frame strikes me as fully capable of supporting 200 lb riders on 60 mph descents. It appears to be built like a brick shlithouse, regardless of its feathery weight. It is an impressive bit of CF engineering and design.
Scott just called. They want to know where to send your shill check. Why they called me I have no idea. |

That new 105 was Schwagalicious, much like the new Ultegra. Nice job Shimano.

For me, the 80/20 rule applies for any luxury hobby where the first 20% spent gets you 80% there, and you can spend the whole lot more chasing that ultimate 20%. As a recovery audiophile, trust me, I know, and cycling has nothing on audio gears in terms of that "intangibles" only you can hear or feel :)

Why the hate on birding?
Clearly you don't understand the difference the right pair of binoculars and spotting scope can make. I'm kind of surprised a forum that is comprised of people that regularly hear "Shazam, I aint never paid no more than $200 bucks for no bicy-hikle, why'd you wanna do tha-ut?" wouldn't appreciate the choice of prime equipment for a highly competitive activity. Birding is cut-throat. |

Incorrect. That is what Scott's marketing would have you believe. When you dig further, you find that it's an identical frame, but about 100 grams heavier (900 grams vs. 800) and the fork is 60 grams heavier (390 grams vs. 330 on the R1). Otherwise identical, I'm told they ride the same. Still builds up to a very light, stiff, great feeling and handling racing bike. I like it.
900 grams is very light for a CF race frame boys. |

Yes, I believe that is the fine in some states. As well it should be.

I'd actually say $1,500 to $1,800 is the sweet spot. Few people (Maybe that Cat 2 guy on Sunday) i know can outride a sweet carbon/alu frame with 105's and decent wheels. Likely even a carbon frame if you know where to look.
