I remember a "letter to the editor" of Bike magazine many years ago. The magazine had been going on about the weight of the different sports bikes for some time and how suich and such a bike was better because it was 2.2kg lighter and boy could you feel it. The writer of the letter pointed out that there was far more weight to be saved by the rider eating a few less pies......
