My take on it is that the longer rides I do may be bad for me, but the training I do to be able to ride a 600K is most definitely good for me. If I didn't ride, I would probably just sit in front of...

I love my Anatomica, but I wouldn't call it lightweight. It weighs at least 550 gram. On the other hand, I could lose ten times that weight :-)

At 195 lbs, I'm not the lightest randonneur in the peleton, but I've used my Tempest II:s for a year/2500+ miles and they still run round and straight. The hubs are smooth and quiet.
