In another thread Richard Goodman said that new bikes were supposed to be faster than old bikes.
This lead me to thinking 'are new bikes any lighter than the equivalent of, say, twenty years ago?'.
Newer bikes have more gears, heavier combined levers and probably some other 'improvements' that
don't come to mind right now. Reynolds 531 was introduced years ago and is still in use. So, does
anyone have a direct comparison they can offer?
(This may be more appropriate over in .tech but they are a bit trigger happy with their
flamethrowers and I don't have my asbestos bibtights on today!)
