: I own a mountain and a road frame made by Merlin. I am currently purchasing a XLM. I have been using my mountain for commuting and love it! The reason I want an XLM is to have a second bike, one for off-road, one for commuting. If you are talking about putting a rack on anything why worry about the extra 1/2 pound? Currently I use a messenger bag that works swell for commuting.
I suppose the question I am really asking is the XLM frame weaker than the Mountain frame? for $600 more - This is not what I expected. Thanks
