Congrats on the new ride and your weight loss! And it's always nice when a new purchase is validated by an increased performance (did the bike make you go faster, or did you just ride better because you were happy to have a new bike?
) Wishing you many happy miles!

Here's the way I looked at it: Originally Posted by NoNo

First, I was surprised that my LeMond only weighed 19.4 pounds (combined with me at 165 pounds...184.4 pounds). The Trek is 16.2 pounds so I gained about 1.7% combined weight reduction. I previously thought it weighted 21 pounds...hmmm
So, I suspect that 1.7% is weight reduction (how's that for a dieting incentive) and the balance is technology. I don't attribute any at all to me...I was actually apprehensive setting out on this ride because I was so satisfied with my LeMond Reno...
