The difference isn't that large. 20-30lbs in extra bike equipment,
water and whatnot. It's peanuts.

You talk about 30 or 40 lbs as if it's chickenfeed. My C40 was about
17 lbs ready to ride and my Basso about 24. It took me several months
to get used to that weight difference. My Pinarello is 2 lbs lighter
and I can sure tell the difference.


I throw all sorts of stuf into my panniers, especially during errand
runs. The only time I feel the difference is when there is a top-heavy
box and bike wants to fishtail.
