Rides like a dream for me. But my last bike was a piece of crap, so that's all I have to compare it to. My bike is 19 pounds but I only have the frame from Wabi, all other parts were picked by me. I also wasn't seeking the lightest parts so it could be much lighter. 19 lbs is still pretty light. When riding it feels great. Search through threads on here, I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of threads about Wabi already.
