the brommie was lighter ? 3 lbs even ?
thats a new one to me ..... unless you compare a titanium single speed with the Rei 8 speed internal can with fenders carriers pump and whatnotelse ....maybe a couple of panniers ?
the small increase in weight for the Terns are most likely in a more realistic way of weighing the bikes, and a small percentage as well in beefed up folding mechanisms ..... for anybody who is using his bike every day these added weights here and there are going to mean that there is extra security in the durability and also serviceability in case you want to overhaul the bike after every 7500 miles.
well worth it for everybody who wants a product which will stand the time
as for pushing the bike.... I have no problems pushing my Curve ( or Mu ) on the seatpost.....
