If the OP can drop *more than 1.2lbs* off wheels for $500, they’d be crazy not to, IMO. Lightening the bike that much, especially at the wheels, will make the bike feel much more lively. Add in some nice tires improving speed and feel for another $150 (or maybe less), and I think that’s money very well spent.
