But those wheels are comprised of many parts which makes them look heavier than they are. You need to weigh your own individual parts really.

Indeed. Starts getting a bit messy then really and having 200 bike parts lying round the house for my little fella to eat

MAybe i should just stop worrying, but of my two usual riding buddies are a little bit lacking in my fitness levels so it's not like i'm holding anyone up

Good question mate, i think it will happen in the end. However by then we'll all be 85 years old and will have pissed ourselves before we get to the top of the road.

I've just picked up (as in lifted up, not purchased) a Boardman team MTB. BLOODY hell that weighs about 50% of the Specialized.

As you may have seen from other threads i've been in a few debates with myself,

"should i buy an FS" "should i get a new frame" etc etc

Picking up the Boardman, along with the spec has pretty much sealed the fate that in April on C2W i'll be getting a Boardman HT.
