Check out this site- got hooked on it years ago when I bought my 1st flat bar road bike in 2006

Some of these guys lose sleep over the weight of the bar tape.....

Mind you - any bike that weighs 6-8 kg complete with all accesories is amazing.......Lambo have a word for it....Superleggera !!!!

My 1st bike ( PROGEAR mountain bike ) weighed in at a porky 15 Kg !!!.....It felt like a B series GT........ha ha
