I'm not sure how much it weighs, or how i would find that out (i know, duh, just weigh it, but where?)
I can say that it doesn't feel that heavy when i pick it up, it feels nimble enough on the road, and it's definitely a lighter bike than my Trek aluminum mountain bike - despite the fact that the Redline is cromoly.
I actually won't get the opportunity to really really ride it until Saturday since I've been working day and night wed-thur-fri this week, and i only picked up the bike on Tues. And the problem with Saturday is that it's supposed to be about 14 to 20 degrees in the Boston area - - all weekend. Which brings me to my next question:
On a bike you don't have to shift: Mittens, Gloves, or biking gloves (no finger tip coverage) in the winter?
Anybody wear one of those thin face masks that runner's sometimes wear?
