My gardens would love some rain right now, it's been dry.

Wow. Refreshing, but that's not really something you want to hear about your surgeon's work. In other words, your finger could have been done a lot better. Damn!

It’s certainly small enough to get down that low.

Pay attention. The weight of a frame is only a fraction of the whole bike weight. So if an uber light crabon fiber frame weighs 1Kg while a Ti frame weighs 1.8Kg, you can see that it's still easy to get a Ti frame to be part of a lightweight build.

And then you put 2.5 lbs. of water on it.

Sans pedals, computer gear, and bottle cages. Basically the way a bike would appear in a bike shop. Only you can know what your add on riding gear weighs so I provide the base weight. Heck the steel bike I'm selling only weighs 16.4 lb. I don't (whoops, I mean I didn't) screw around.

Still better than putting the water on a bike that weighs 10 lb more. You have to ride a 12.5 lb bike like the crabon one I just sold to understand how good it feels.
