Probably a very stupid question (I know that there are no stupid questions just stupid people btw)
I read loads of articles about bikes and they often say that lighter bikes feel much more nimble, better on climbs etc. I also read that it is cheaper to lose weight than to buy a lighter bike.
If there was someone who was 13 stone (82kg ish) got on a 8kg bike would they find it as nimble etc as someone who was 12 stone (76kg) on a 14kg bike?
For me it sounds daft...I think the heavier rider would find the lighter bike better but is that just me being thick (my wife tells me that I am btw so very open minded!)
Thanks,
Russ
