Concur. I hove between 190 and 210. I likely don't go downhill as quickly as cgolvin, but I do descend rapidly. And, I outweigh him by a solid amount. I don't bat an eye at rim brakes...esp on alloy...and the new carbon brake tracks are just as good. I also avoid riding in the rain cuz my kettlebell occasionally needs attention.

I hate hard decisions. Here's to NOT making them!
I've already said it and I stand by it: gun to my head and forced to chose, I'm taking the Love.
