I rode a expressway 2 at my local bike shop this morning. I will share my thoughts on it.
I had them weigh it. 25.72pds. I asked if it rolled when it was folded and it kinda does. But not really.
Feels pretty light. I am 5'11 and I did not feel cramped on it. The ride was really smooth and the components seemed to work nicely. Seat was nice and comfy. The folding parts were all smooth and worked good.
Overall its a cool bike, but it just seems a bit overpriced to me.
Interesting bike. I wasn't familiar with it, so I checked out the website. Since you were interested in its weight obviously, this is what the website says:
How much does this bike weigh? It’s a common question, and rightly so. But the truth is, there are no industry standards for claiming bike weights—and this leads to a lot of misinformation. Variances exist based on size, frame material, finish and hardware. And as bikes get lighter, these differences become more critical. At Giant, we believe the only way to truly know the weight of any particular bike is to find out for yourself at your local retailer.
It's kind of a, uh, odd response given what Brompton, Tern, and many others are willing to say: at least give a weight range so that consumers know what they're working with.
Rivendell Sam Hillborne; Brompton M6R Reduced Gearing in Sage Green; Salsa Mukluk 3 FAT Bike; Nerdy Academic; Nikonian; Wing Chun; and a Patridge in a Pear Tree.
Yeah I knew everyone would be curious about weight so thats why i had them weigh it. I think its odd they dont list a weight either.
