An estimate I'll be honest in that it feels lighter than my titanium (geared)bike which comes in at 22lbs. I'll try and weigh it some time.
 
Looking at the size of that frame and the amount of seatpost showing you must be a touch over 8 foot tall...?
 
cheers :D

photos and dirt don't really do it justice. You can't really see that it has a red/blue/silver theme going on. Red items you can't really see: brake studs on the front, barrel adjusters on brakes, rim on front, nipples on rear (!), crank spider. You can see the blue and silver.

Dual speed works really well: kick down for low gear, deft finger lift (while staionary :shock: ) for high gear. Helps me as locally the routes are a mix of road and off-road and I can't bear twiddling on the road in 34:16 :roll:
