Every time T-Bone complains about bike weight I ask him if he's factoring in the weight of SWAT (storage, water, tools) and usually the answer is that he hasn't - which I'm sure is true for most. Stuff that used to weigh 2-5lbs on your back is now on your bike. System weight is the same, it's just that your bike weighs more, but that weight is lower now. We're still better off.
