Exactly, hauling it around or up stairs or up to the rack after the ride is where light weight REALLY fast.
There was a very nice Titanium 14" hardtail on ebay recently.I eyeballed it and it went for about $900 delivered. It was a bit cheaper than the Peugeot Mixte that recently was threaded here.
I like Mixtes, but if I had a spare $900 it would have gone for something modern and lightweight that could take fat tire and had GOOD brakes, not the hint of braking that 70's early 80's vintage bikes give.
