LOL how about 20yrs old? In our riding group, we have nine GG bikes from between 1998 and 2004. They are a little heavy, but they handle well, make great power and are stone ax reliable and extremely durable! Speaking from experience we ride, drop, crash and sometimes abuse them and they are hard to break! For my application, I would much rather trade some weight for reliability and durability.
I think we are talking about a 7% difference in weight. That might be a big difference for some light riders in some riding applications and that difference will go unnoticed for many others.
