That calculator is interesting!
According to it, I think I need to lose 40-some pounds of me to equal the change I'd make by losing about fifteen pounds of bike.
Now, losing 40 pounds of me is a really good idea, since the combination of losing some of me and losing some bike weight is HUGE!

If you go to skinnier tires, you'll go faster for cheap.
However, it sounds like you've made a sort of psychological transition... you want to be a roadie
Ride some. See how they feel. (I have not found one that doesn't make me irritable after 30 miles - maybe I have some "core muscle" issues so I don't do the aerobic position well ??... we'll see what spring-semester-yoga can do for me. Sitting poses give me *exactly* the same bad mood...)
