The rigid one is a plus bike - it has >800g 2.6" tyres....
Swap them out for something smaller along with some lighter inner tubes and you would probably knock a good amount of weight off it....
Will see how much the one I have ordered actually weighs when it arrives
Thanks! Just had a look at the rigid Vitus 24, looks almost perfect for the price but weighs 11.6Kg vs. 8.3Kg for the Isla Beinn 24!
I think my daughter might struggle bumping it up the steps to our house...
