Yea... what Knott said! lol...

If you can afford to keep it in the stable, do it.

I tried some hybrids, it just felt wrong without drop bars. I tried a Trek fx flat bar... same thing. And I'm very sad to say this... but after getting my cyclecross bike this year, I am not sure I really care for my moutain bike anymore either.

I love my carbon roadie. And I love my cross bike. Yes, a lot is about the rider... but lighter does generally make things faster / perform better. Just think of it in terms of your body. I used to be a much heavier person. My heart, joints, etc. all had to work harder with that extra weight. Post weight lose, everything is easier / better.

Good luck with your shopping!
