£1/gram is the going rate to join the WW club I'm afraid. Anything cheaper is a bargain.

I'll sell you my Merida 96 carbon team for £500 for each lb it's lighter than your Yeti. 😀

Yes any sport where they sell you stuff based on "seconds per 40km" means the percentage improvements must be microscopic 😀
