Re: The good old days when bike manufacturers publicised wei
Surely if you were going to buy a bike you would go and try it/pick it up to try the weight? Too heavy go try another? I don't want or need to buy a brand new bike as my riding style has changed from my youth so can't warrant the purchase.
I did look at a Giant Anthem (2 grand one) with a look of buying it go looning about on. Without a doubt I'd have gone quicker on it than my 92 Explosif on the trails but it would definitely be harder work on it to ride to the trails on it.
But why don't manufacturers put weight on the spec sheets?
