Ride a Lapierre Spicy 916 and racing all 3 no fuss '10's' and relentless aswell as the selkirk marathon this year.

Did one of teh '10's' last year and relentless and used my spicy.

Its 12.5kg....................is that too heavy for a bike for this use do you think?

    Depends on if you can ride it uphill or not?

    DO you have another choice in your collection?

    you can race with what ever you want. I guess on paper its a little heavier compared to a stereotypical race bike but don't let that stop you from having a go.

    fitness and geometry are much much much more important than a little bit of weight.

    Yup. But then if you had an Anthem X or something, there's little doubt you'd lap faster. Are you wanting ot be competitive?

    But 12.5kg isn't that heavy, surprised a Spicy's that light actually, that's good going.
