Going on from the bike weight thread a bit, I have a FS Scott Spark & an old Gary Fisher Big Sur HT. The Big Sur is a few pounds lighter than the Scott of course, so the question is, would it be more beneficial using the Big Sur in an XC race (such as the Thetford Winter Series) than the newer Scott? The course is a mix of fire road and forest trails with not much climb.

Which boils down to would the weight advantage of the HT supercede or be better overall than the FS bike in that sort of race?
