It is important to advance bike and bike weight technology, but in the end if you're doing anything (to include training) besides actual training your body weight is of great importance and why should people worry about the weight of good lights versus puny lights when actual body weight is more significant and changeable.

But the seconds saved get canceled out pretty quickly if you're spending too much time at the side of the road repairing broken spokes or flat tires. John Schubert wrote somewhere that his fastest rides have been on his heaviest bike. (But then John has quite a few extra on him; bike weight is probably completely irrelevant for him.)

Another cycling buddy of mine also liked to say that if they wanted to lighten their bicycle frame by a few pounds they'd just lose some weight themselves. Lots cheaper and probably healthier in the long run. Now when it comes to drive train components...I can see the desire for lighter materials. As I’m fond of saying ’steel is real’.
