Yes, in the world of frames, 2 pounds is a pretty big difference. But in the context of complete bike weight, it’s really not.
But again, it is more than just weight that makes one frame more expensive than another.
And BTW, whether you are talking about frames or forks, more expensive and “better” does not always mean lighter.
Lets make it simple. On a 30 pound bike us 2 pounds weight loss significant. How about 3? 5? What’s significant that someone other than a racer would feel?
If i went from a 30 pound bike to a 28 pound bike with all things being similar would I feel the difference?
