total bike weight bike weight is overrated so a large degree. sure difference between 30 and 20 is noticable but 22 and 20??

any way I can fit a 30mm corsa control tubular in my 85 team miyata, run 28 easily with both it and my 84 team miyata.

another thing to look at is wheelset.... a lighter wheelset can make an amazing difference. I see this with the difference between a mavic gel 330 tubular set and a mavic ma40 clincher on the 84 miyata. so consider going tubular

good luck
