Clearly these people have never had the pleasure of riding a 35 pound Dutch bike.

good link to the article on fatcyclist. i really enjoyed it. i really am out of the loop when it comes to all the latest weight of bicycles and associated components. mostly ride, for ridings sake on a bicycle.

i actually like the web-like design for some reason.... something different in the realm of bland same frames, though i am more of the neopunk bicyclist myself.

Also there are a lot of other carbon frames that weigh about that much, so it's really no big deal. Did you read this?

2.75 lbs until you ride through some mud, then it's an $7k 5 lb frame! Neat tech and all, but ugly and stupid expensive. I'm sure we'll see tons of them rolling the park city trails in the spring.
