Weight matters also off-bike. For example if you need to carry it upstairs daily. So it can matter even for people that do not race.
- plorkyeran 3y agoEven just loading a bike onto a car rack is a pretty big difference. I don't think I'd pay for carbon if the only benefit was it being easier to carry, but it is a pretty big benefit.
