Weight wise, I keep meaning to put it on the scales. ill do that over the next couple of days, but... a lot heavier since the saddle went on. They're not that light!
Awesome. You are my brother from a different mother. I am too just over 6' and prefer a big bike and French fit. Yes, maybe a tight standover but I like the bars up around saddle height or just below. That bike caught my eye and I thought with that length head tube you may in the 6'3" size range or so.
Well done. The bike looks so nice with short stack and proper stem. I have owned tons of Brooks saddles throughout my earlier cycling life and ride plastic now but Brooks saddles do weigh a lot. That bike isn't about weight as you rightly imply. Beautiful.
Enjoy it. Had to ask about the unique geometry.
