Hello Eric, how are you doing? I enjoyed reading your posts about your cycling activities with a friend. This must be very pleasant because the weather is also very friendly. I don't think you need to think about your bike being heavier than your friend's bicycle. .You have to love what you have, buddy. And your question is if I have $ 400 if I would buy a lighter bike, the answer would be no. Maybe the money can be used for other purposes because my old bicycle is still comfortable to use. Enjoy your day, sir.

Hi Eliana, the week was a good one. You're right, it's important to appreciate what you have. The one fear I have is if I get another bike this one might rarely get ridden. I hope you have a good weekend!
