The frame weighs 9.5 lbs; fork is 2.0 lbs. Built-up as seen above, but without the V-bars or bags she weighs 34.5 lbs. I didn’t specifically request the lightest possible build. I discussed that my typical uses would <SPAN class="caps">NOT</SPAN> be hauling the heaviest possible load. Rather a kid or two and a couple bags of groceries. Other than that, I left it to Tony and figured I’d see where the weight fell. I’m happy with it. The forks have a lot of beef, tandem blades and a double plated crown. That will be useful when and if I get around to Stoking this. And I could have easily saved weight there by going with mountain bike blades and a uni-crown, but like with a woman, it’s not how much it weighs, it’s where the weight is carried.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://clevercycles.com/?p=194"><P>Also, the wheels are 48 spoke, 559 <SPAN class="caps">BSD</SPAN>.
