The Pashley gives a similar ride, all set to go for a very reasonable price. People drop $10K on a wristwatch and $1K on dinner, for those folks a Pasley is cheap. I'd rather have a Pasley than some hidious 20lb CF urbanized Trek.
My IGH bike (the one I posted a picture of) ended up weighing 14 kg (31 lbs), my road bike with rack, battery lights and cycle-computer (no fenders) is 11.6 kg (26 lbs).
