If it shifts well, it is full of win. That has yet to be seen.

How light is it?

Does the collective have an opinion on easton wheels? ea 70's? $ is 400.00 1650 grams with skewers, new.

My thing is this - if I lost or gained 5 lbs, even 10, I wouldn't even notice it. No matter whether I was walking or riding, up a hill or on a flat, it would be inconsequential.

Okay Ferris.

Seriously? If I gain 10# I notice it with everyday activities. When I'm lighter (like I am now) I ride/run/swim faster with less effort. Walking up stairs is easier.

You need to play closer attention to your body m

Oh?

I'm diggin' the double stem treatment.

Hydra bike!

So, that's the recommended marinade, Roll?

Do they sell it at Wegmans?

I thought everyone in New York shops at Piggly Wiggly, rjones28.

Ok maybe 10 lbs is a stretch (for dramatic effect) - I notice it in my belts, still not in performance. But 5 lbs I don't notice in any way.

I would be faster if I lose five pounds. Should I join the church weight loss group?

10 lbs is a lot. You would notice 10 lbs sitting in a chair if it came off of you and you had been over weight. I recently lost 7 lbs and could tell on yesterdays ride. Saying that the motor makes a bigger difference than light weight is like saying round wheels work better than square.
A lighter rider/bike is always going to be better than a heavy bike/rider at the same power. With the pos. exception of stability. when I moved from my 19+ lbs. Madone to my 17 ish lbs. Giant TCR Advanced, the difference was night and day, especially while climbing what few hills we have around here. I went from being shot out the back, to last in,IN, the group. Then when I switched from the advanced to the Tarmac, the difference was again plainly evident but not as large as the previous difference. The change in bikes was a few oz. higher but better fit and stiffness.
Weight ALWAYS makes a difference, otherwise we would still be riding gas pipe schwinns. Power to weight ratio's dont come with a , below this point do not apply, asterisk.
Now if you are just saying that weight doesnt matter...and the engine is more important... to justify running that heavy old kludgy Shimano groupset, well you should have said so from the begining.

Over what time frame?

Incorrect.
It's
Wegmans
Tops
Price Chopper
Around here.

You are the church weight loss group.

Bill, you not noticing is not the same as quantifiable.

That is the premier label, original stuff. I normally just get the Wegman's brand, but for you guys, I'd go top shelf.

I am trying to ween myself from Wegman's, and move to Tops. However, Price Chopper is always the best place for seafood. That is all.

Drat, I forgot to start with So...

Kroger
Food City
Bi-Lo
Walmart
Publix
Ingles
Earth Fare
The Fresh Market
Save-A-Lot
Aldi
Trader Joe's
Holy Land Market

My mom used to shop at Piggly Wiggly, when we lived in Illinois. I just looked it up. No more Piggly Wiggly in Princeton, IL. Looks like some place called Sullivans now and a Super Wal-Mart out by I-80.

My 5.5 lbs loss was so obvious today. I went back to the climbing wall and I went up so much more quickly. Only 5.5 lbs and I felt totally different. The other people including the instructor noted how much more easily I was moving.

Hey coasting,

I want to lose 5.5 pounds. What should I do, coasting?
