Easy there Mike. It's a joke, I'm sure. Not a cheap shot.

Dear Nick and The List,
Ouch! An unsupported statement like that is kind of a cheap shot against any bike - but particularly against a long-established framebuilder of J.P. Weigle's reputation, it deserves a better explanation, Nick.
Many factors can create a bike that doesn't have that hard-to-define "sweet" handling characteristic that an experienced rider will usually want to seek out.
Indeed, proper handling and the "right" level of stiffness trumps weight every time(or at least it SHOULD, IMHO).
etc etc etc.
