Canada versus US storefront, different market and different currency.

Is the step through as strong a design?
Step-through frames aren't as well-triangulated as a standard double-diamond, so those frames typically end up weighing a bit more. Hardly a huge difference in the overall bike, though.

Somewhat heavier than I would have expected. Probably mostly due to the use of a cheap hi-ten fork and threaded headset, although they should still work just fine. I'm also not a fan of bombproof tires like the H5, which are each half a pound heavier than the MTB tires on the Skye, and aren't exactly supple; but that's the cost of bombproofness, and you can always switch them out in the future.
