Discussion: Bike weight vs. People weight
I've been thinking about the weight of mountain bikes. My friend rides a Giant Reign 1 (2006) which is a few pounds heavier than my Enduro.
My thoughts: If I weigh 220 lbs and my bike weighs 30 lbs and I want to reduce ride weight - what is the difference between spending hundreds of dollars on special, lightweight components and getting it down to 28 lbs. versus dropping my body weight to a respectable 200 lbs.?
Is there some sort of ratio that makes sense of this?
