Yes, I'm going to weigh it when I get home, but I'm starting to think about adding weight now in case I have to.
Weight won't be an issue. Only people I see go under are very small bikes and small carbon wheels (like 202s).
The seat is what gets people. Assuming they are enforcing the new 9deg rule that probably isn't an issue, but they do measure the full saddle, so a flat saddle with a kick up at the back looks quite a bit down. You do need to be 5cm+ back from the BB, but the Omnium design doesn't put you that far forward anyway. Again, more of an issue for people very short/xs bikes. Seat angle at 3deg was a real pain on some seats.
Pursuit bars are another thing people fail on a lot but won't be the case here, but something to consider if you come up for provincials in March (and you should!).
