Ah, well 'heavy' in terms of road bike doesn't really bother me so much. See, I'm coming off of a monstrous Walmart cheapo craputer bike. I've done rides as long as 30 miles on that sucker, and let me tell you, when I first picked up my Vita I could barely believe how light it was! I was riding it and a gust of wind just about blew me over!
Supposed to get fitted next Saturday, I'm rather excited, then hopefully time for an inaugural ride that evening!

As far as weight it really depends on componets.. There are alot of light tri bikes out there. Carbon fiber frame, aerobars, and a light crank = light bike.. Like anything it all depends on componets and material...

Thanks for this link! I've saved it, and will study it. I guess I know I'm a tri geek when my response to the website was, "Wow! Where is this store?!" (Um, it's in MICHIGAN, Lise!) It looks so cool.
