I got my XP-X weighing in at 12Kg / 26.4 lb for my London to Paris ride on it.



I havn't got around to weighing it since I converted it to a Fournales Fork, 700c wheels and disk brakes, for the LEJOG, so that's on my list "to do".

Yours I'd guess, is probably not quite as light as my XP-X? What with the steel springs, Knobbly tyres etc,  so say 12.6Kg / 27.8lb ??
