They can be & usually are regarded as mutually exclusive. Personal weight loss is so often regarded as a by-product of cycling. Not as the cause or consideration of equipment choice in any area that is not the Clyde/Athena sub.
I admit to intentionally losing weight to use "better" equipment. Maybe others have too. I though it was worth exploring.
According to the poll results, I'm not the only one to upgrade one, the other &/or both in pursuit of better enjoyment of the hobby.
There is some good stories of weight loss upthread. Plus +1 to them, indeed.
