My Volpe is about 34 pounds, which is heavy to me, but it's comfy enough and has a wide range of gears that I can handle anything. That weight is with bottle cages and rack but not with the bottle or tool bag. As you might be able to see, it has a dynamo hub and headlight and tail light.

[MENTION=390381]fordmike65[/MENTION], the Specialized is terribly nice, but the Neopolitan is just so classy. I imagine it's more of a looker than a rider.
