I think it partially depends on whether one equates speed with fun. I sure do
at times, which is why I appreciate my 29rrrr full suspension bike. My 1992
RMB Vertex still puts the same size grin on my face though when I take it out,
plus when I stick a carbon fork on it in a couple of days it'll probably be
down to around 23.5lb. Find me a new bike that costs around $400 and weighs
that. Riding it is an experience, not just a Strava exercise. It also puts
into perspective the notion of spending $400 on a cassette.
