Possibly a dumb question but bear with me. I'm considering getting a new bike, all carbon, singing and dancing etc tipping the scales at around 15.5lbs. I notice when moving some of the sparklier steeds at the cafe how light some of them are, particularly Specialized and Felts - rather like when you pick up an empty kettle expecting it to be full of water - compared to my Lemond.
Cutting to the chase, mine weighs about 18.75lbs, four years old, very comfortable, climbs well (though that may be down to my own skinny 150lb frame), handles well etc.
I'm guessing many Agreeables have made a similar change and even bigger weight drop, so my question is would I be likely to notice much of a difference on a significantly lighter bike? On the flats? In the hills?
Cheers for any advice
