I was wondering about this myself. The EcoVelo review lists the weight at 30.5 pounds. My guess would be that the IGH hub accounts for a good chunk of that weight. Disc compatible frames tend to be fairly heavy too. Even so, I find myself wondering if the listed weight includes the rack and fenders.
