Absolutely no way the stock weight of this bike was 22 pounds. Zip. It will weigh more like 28 pounds, or more, complete, assuming you build it up as a derailleur bike. I have had several similar bikes, and I have a good bike scale.

As far as speed goes, my 1989 Univega MTB with slicks will be as fast as that particular bike. Nothing wrong with it, and the price was great, but its not a fast one. Its a recreational level bike.
