Need Lighter Equipment?

I have said this before, "instead of buying lighter equipment lose 5lbs." In my case more than that. There is a lot of very sexy equipment out there. Unfortunately it is also very expensive.

Personally a Garmin and a power meter would look very good on the Colnago. However, parting with 2K plus to make the additions does not fit into the family budget.

Now some of you may be racer fit and a few grams here or there will make a difference, but most of us could just lose some lbs to improve our performance.

Here is some geek speak from Astana's website about weight (click on link to the right) Fresh Brew. Check it out and put down the donut and go do the Donut ride!

It would be cool to be able to afford a power meter, but for now it has to be just ride hard. Fixedgear Dad is a minimalist, no computer, one brake, one gear, one bottle cage and I am sure he is rolling his eyes right now, but he rides just fine. Me, I like all the equipment, but first I need to drop a few grams or kilograms more like it.
