While I did weigh my bike, this is pretty much how I feel. Sure I would likely be a little faster on a lighter bike - and eventually I will have a second bike in my stable that will be - but I am more concerned about having a bike that I can ride all day long for days on end if I want to - and my touring bike is made for that At this stage I doubt that I would be much faster anyway.
