Two words: splitting hairs. If you really cared about weight, you'd have already replaced your auto body with foam and fiberglass. Touring bikes, to me, are the most practical, like cars. They're not exactly overbuilt, but they're made to carry and last many miles. Truthfully, if you're not competing, you should keep anything worth use in an emergency, and also the money saved by driving with a few pounds off the car probably can't outweigh the money saved by overinsurance. I don't get angry at carbon fiber cyclists, but you have to put the line somewhere when it comes to practicality.
