My bike is an old steel Fuji Saratoga touring bike. I weighed it once out of curiosity and it came in about 27 lbs if I remember right. That was before I added lights and a computer. I ride with two panniers filled with tools, spare tube, pump, clothes (work as well as clean stuff for the ride home), lunch, wallet, keys, laptop, etc. I weighed the panniers one morning on my work shipping scale and they totalled about 25 lbs. So my rig is also around 50 lbs, maybe a bit more.

As noted above, I'm interested in getting there and being safe and comfortable. Weight isn't a consideration.
