Thanks for the reminder... fair enough, but hey, it's Kickstarter. Not only might you not get your product, but specs are subject to change. And the KS page only listed them as "approximate" weights. Caveat emptor. Personally, if the changes mean improved handling, durability, and safety, then the extra three pounds are probably worth it.
