Halfway through the second set I gave up.

This made me come back to the little idea in the back of my mind that won't go away - a light, SS, disc brake bike, possibly with gravel-type clearance. So dumb, but so appealing to me.

The track bike is my lightest at around 18lbs and feels lovely and lively. Not quite gravel clearance but 584x38 fits. So I fully endorse that idea

I think that my Cervelo is around that weight, so I'd want to shoot for at least a few pounds lighter with an SS. If I'm not going to get bailed out by gearing, I at least want a substantial weight placebo to power me along.

Do up a reverse dished rear wheel on that hub after respacing the axle, wonder if I could make it work with a 140mm rear end.
Then I'd have to build the frame...
