Subject: RE: Good Weight for a bike23 pounds sounds heavy.
"Vintage" sounds like code for old.
I would not worry about weight as much as how old it is, condition and the fit. You don't want too small or large of a frame.
Test ride it and see how it fits.
BUT, be careful with used. Carbon fiber frames while light, could have cracks not visible to the eye. You might have a better inspection with aluminum frames, but they will weigh more.
Ultimately how well she trains up for cycling determines how well she will do rather than the weight of the bike.
I always laugh when I load up my bike for a 70.3 or full IM. With all the water and nutrition and flat fix gear, sucker is HEAVY. |
