Thanks to everyone for posting your bikes. Age 75, I just switched from a 24-pound (10.9 kg) Toughroad alloy with 38mm tires, to a carbon Defy Advanced 2, with 32mm tires, weighing 19 pounds (8.6 kg). The lighter weight increased my speed by 2.5 mph (4 kph) or more.

Here's my old gravel bike, a Toughroad SLR GX 0, alloy.

Here's my new Defy Advanced 2, carbon.
