Should I spend 5000€ on a carbon bike or should I diet for like 3 days to save the same weight and keep using my aluminium road bike, tough choices...

That's what i always find funny. i mean i like stuff like that, i currently have a carbon frame mtb that i absolutely adore. I bought the frame for cheap and build the bike from parts that i already had. But i don't think there is any advantage. It's not even very light, i just like the idea of it. I sometimes talk to ebike enthusiasts who own 10+K ebikes with carbon frames. Good job, you saved 500g on a 22kg bike where the battery and the motor is the thing that weights it down. And the guys are always on the chunky side as well. Bro, you van drop 10kg easily.

Sounds like they like owning the bike more than riding it
