My Commuter bike
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Built a "hybrid" bike to commute to work. Rock Lobster frameset (Ebay), Monkeylite carbon bars (Ebay) Shimano Dura Ace Crankset and Derailleur, Mavic wheelset, etc.... Rode it today, about 6 miles one way. Weighs a svelte 20 lbs. Only bummer was that it was over 100 degrees on the way home,
----------
I ride a 2003 Diamondback Topanga Comp Disk around the city, it weighs 30 lbs.
I want a bike that's like the above, around 20lbs. Can someone recommend a "solution"? (I'm on a budget) Is the above 20 lb bike expensive, because of the lightweight components?
