Why not be concerned by bike weight? Why does it matter if some people want to get the lightest bike possible?
Yes, it is likely that they will have a pro level bike (or better) and never ride it in anger. However that is not the point. For me I love the engineering and design. A good choice of components and frame creates a beautiful bike that rides great. Check out the Weight Weenies forum for some good examples.
Yes, I will buy a part that is X grams lighter than the other one at great cost. Because I can. This will not make any difference to my performance.
I buy it because it looks good and I like it. End of reasons. Only ones required.
