I agree in a way but some parts are just weak and others strong. Weight sometimes isn't an issue. e.g fly estampida frame- over 6 pounds. not very strong. Also some frames can't handle pegs too well either. S&M l.a.f i wouldn't call it strong and neither a Fit S3 mike aitken frame. S&M pitchforks lights. The new ones. Real bad dropouts. Suck tremendously. Old Fly Pantera forks. Slightly lighter but alot stronger. Does depend on who's riding what parts. With pegs or without. "if you can get light, strong parts, why not?" I totally agree there though
