I built my Surly 1x1 with Rhynolites,BB7 front,Nexus 7/roller brake rear,and skinny 1.3" tires. It's a 18" and weighs 28lbs 1oz. Ditching the gear hub for a fixed one would drop a couple pounds,but it would still be over 25lbs. Not super heavy,but not exactly light. The KM frame is a little heavier I believe,so I think you'd be in the same ballpark. If you're not going to be riding off road,then a road frame will be alot lighter than a MTB frame,and you can always go with an aftermarket fork to run a front disc.
