Samtron I have the 2004 Mach 1800 and Mach 2200. They are both pretty porky at 9.8 and 9.3kg naked respectively. Add on two full bidons, tools, a halogen lightset, pump, etc and your looking at nearly 12kg! I don't mind the extra weight because I'm only racing club level. Makes climbing 'interesting'
The thing is they were super-cheap, sturdy, and very reliable. If I throw them down the road and trash them I won't be shedding any tears.
