9.4kg/20.7lb without mudguards or lights. Think I will swap out that front dynamo hub with a non dynamo Deore LX I have to bring weight down by 280g. Don't really need anything more than a couple of blinkies on my short commute on lit streets, but definitely do need the mudguards here in deepest Cornwall and also lowish gearing for an old bloke coping with the moderately hilly terrain. That is a 38t chainring with a 16t freewheel, giving 64" gear with the 32mm tyres. I took it on a shakedown run and it does accelerate and roll well, and runs very quiet and smooth. The pedals are garbage from the back of the shed, but will be replaced with some Humpert 608s ASAP
