It wasn't hard! Topeak rear rack, Jannd front rack, small pump, 3 cages, seatbag (1 pound loaded) and single Ortlieb (as pictured) with 1 pound of odds and ends (hat, rag, light cablelock) = 40.6 pounds as you see her. I didn't weigh the bike naked, but this is how I ride it. By contrast, the weight of the one above it in full riding configuration is 16.2 pounds.
