Not sure I know what you mean john?
"As for those who suggest you should lose some weight? You clearly don't get it" :?:
Back when I was semi-decent (15 years ago ) I remember lots of fat blokes on kleins plodding uphill and I have to admit to taking great pleasure in whizzing past on my heavy 28.5 pound bike (BITD I did know my bikes weight 
).
I think this impressed on me that light and expensive wasn't always "best", a well balanced bike with parts that work well and don't fail on you, even if it puts your bike up a few weight divisions is no bad thing in my book.
And speaking as a man who could always lose a few pounds round the middle, getting thinner and fitter will help my cycling 100x compared to kitting the bike out in teeny weeny shiny bits IMHO. (and is bloody cheaper too )
Your bikes weight, like your age is all in the mind, You can choose to dwell on it and feel depressed or you can ignore it and live ihappily in a town called denial.
