After sitting, thinking, listening, reading and deciding, i thought "well, the stuff i'm riding, i can/should be fine on something less massive than the big blue bouncy G170.
So my thoughts went up, down, round about, i then thought, what's going to 'help' me.
Stability is one thing, 29er wheels, so everyone tells me are faster, then lighter weight.
With the G170 coming in at nearly 17kg that's a big burly bike and the Trek coming in at 13.5kg (lighter when tubeless), it's about as light as you're going to get within a sensible budget.
I'm both scared and excited in equal amounts.
