Oh, yeah. In re-reading this thread, I see that it was "How much should
my high-end bike weigh?"
Not "How much should
a high-end bike weigh?"
The answer is simple. A high-end bike should weigh exactly zero, be infinitely thin for superior aerodynamics, yet be laterally stiff & vertically compliant. Anything short of this ideal is an engineering failure & should be discarded as the trash it is.
Your high-end bike
should weigh more than mine.
