This thread should be titled, What is YOUR road ride BODY WEIGHT, not your road bike weight. I'm 5'10" and weight 195. Not fat but spent most my life in a gym lifting weights before discovering cycling. My bike weighs around 19 lbs. but that's insignificant compared to my body weight. The weight weenies should focus more on themselves and not the bike.
My idea riding weight, or at least when I feel the most powerful is around 185 lbs. If my bike is a few pounds too heavy then that means I need to lay of the suds for a while.
It's really that simple, at least for us beer lovers....
