Yeah, I once went touring with a friend riding a Kona Sutra and he complained about how heavy it was. He wasn't used to long days in the saddle though.
Yours looks very capable of anything now (besides racing maybe).
Oddo-
I've just accepted that I'm not fast and that I need to embrace the cush. Heavy, sure, but it's an out-and-out touring bike in it's bones.
Took it to the purbecks on saturday (hence the state of it) and I wouldn't say those extra kgs were day-ruining. It's noticable, yeah, but it's nice feeling like I can just point it at anything and it'll be alright.

Thanks! it's still unashamedly and unavoidably a lump.
But rolling on some 2.2" rubber suits it. Doesn't go, doesn't stop, just plods along.
