Wonder if putting larger tires (already have 25's) on the faster bike would make up for the comfort issue on longer rides?

Edit: Or maybe get my lazy ass in the gym.
Big tires will help a little, depending on the pressure now you can go down on the 25's probably. Even 10 psi can help.

If you keep riding the heavy bike it will make you less tired at the end of a long ride. You will adjust. You can probably run your 25's at 70 psi if you look where your going all the time. I can ride 23's at 70 all day.
