My BF Pakit with titanium seat post and stem weighs just under 19 lbs (8 speed) with seat and pedals. For a folder, that's close to the max I want something to weigh that I might fold and carry. I've got a Dahon Mu Uno with lightweight pedals that runs 22 lbs and it's definitely the most I want a folder to weigh. Those extra 3-4 pounds make a difference if you're schlepping the bike up a bunch of stairs at transit stations. Maybe he is using really heavy tires? Throw on some light weigh slicks... Sevens are really sweet bikes, btw. I'm jealous of your wife.
