And not much use passing steel and boards up to a scaffolder either.It's a bit of an oversimplification but generally speaking, big muscles are a massive hindrance to cycling up a hill quickly

Just like the used bikes, as on Craigslist. If it's a 63 or 65cm, I can wait days, weeks, yea,even months for the price to go down. Meanwhile, the weightlifter type guys are trying to push those Firmstrong bikes up and down the trail, so they seem to be at a disadvantage riding single speed cruisers around.
problem is the bigger chaps can generally put more power out , look at the likes of cancellara to froome , on a club run into the wind i was being dropped by the bigger riders but as soon as we got to a hill i was overtaking .I was speculating with another cyclist being bigger in crosswinds. You've more ballast, so that would make you more stable, but you also have a bigger surface area, so that would make you a spinnaker. Suspect the whippets have an advantage there.
On the flat and a still day, you'll probably have a little more rolling resistance, but the weight wouldn't make much if any difference. Again, though, the whippets can get down further on the drops, so their is still the spinnaker affect.
