Saving weight on a bike becomes exponentially more expensive the lighter the bike becomes. Sure, it helps not to buy the cheapest, heaviest model you can find at Walmart, but how many hundreds of dollars is worth to save another kilo or two to carry up a flight of stairs?

weight is a factor when it comes to ride quality, though how important that is for you is, i guess, dependent on your personality.

if a bike isn't fun and therefore not used after the initial honeymoon phase even the cheapest price tag is unnecessarily expensive.
