Basically why I want a lighter bike to begin with, so even with all the stuff it's still not that heavy, I'm able to bring my bike into work rather than lock it up, but I've got to climb five stories with it, along with 2 going home.
The Salsa and FantomCross Uno seem good, I'll check them out. Thanks.
