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.
