Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Just sayin.
With the very unscientific weigh myself holding the bike and then without and subtracting.

The bike weighs 15.8 lbs with pedals,cages, etc...

Throw some tubies on it and it would be close to 15lbs.

Since seeing this I've been lusting. Trying to think of what I can sell to buy one. How much can I get for a kidney?

If you have a wife, you can always sell HER kidney. That way, you don't lose any training time.

Well, jealous of you I am. The twisted tubing looks cool if nothing else. If it really contributes to the design even better. Heck if it simply doesn't hurt the strength it is better because it looks so cool.
