they could save so much more weight on that, fixed gearing, horizontal dropouts so no need for mech hanger and tesioner, thiner bars, shorter seat tube, 24" wheels instead of 26" ? less material, no need for brakes if fixed wheel and those pedals are prety ridiculous to be fair haha the thing these days with racing or any sport its not down to the rider now, its got to such a competitive level that most riders have the same ability but there bikes or whatever there using is set up different, i have always wanted to see a motocross rider like james stuart to do a lap on his factory yamaha and then do a lap on a standard yamaha and both the laps to be timed and see what the difference is, i think that would be prety intresting
