Some times I think I'm more of a Roadie than a Mountain Biker. After a week of spinning my legs off with a 40-tooth MTB gear on a hard tail with slicks, due to my crash, I was excited to knock out a few road miles over the weekend. I had a few complaints from people wishing I were still on my mountain bike, being that my turns up front were a little slower due to the big wheels. Sorry Dennis :-)

I've never weighted my road bike before, so I thought I'd check it out. I'm not sure if I’m impressed by the weight or disappointed. How can a stock standard bike weight in under the legal UCI limit of 6.8kg?? Does that mean I have to add weights to it before entering a race?? Guess I better find some heavy bottle cages and extra long steel bolts.
