The Plug is indeed a decent bike for the money (actually, was, didn't realise how expensive it is now!), the standard Plug especially, it got what it take for everyday riding, comfortable saddle, enough clearance for big tyres, solid frame, bullhorn for bar position (especially riding on the hood), the only letdown is simply the tyres which isn't exactly the best.
as for weight, meh, for a singlespeed bike at that price range it's heavy, but compare to OTP road bicycles of similar price, it's light for a heavy steel frame.
*Specialized Langster come to mind, weighting only 18lbs and cheaper too.
**Genesis Day01 for instance about £550, even with an alu frame and carbon fork, it's 22lbs, same weight as the Plug.
