31.6lbs is not massively heavy my touring bike with a similar style (though quite skinny 38c tires) is around that and it isn't that bad. If I had to carry it for a few minutes it might get cumbersome but for an average flight of stairs it isn't bad. Though yes compared to my 16lb fixed gear with brakes front and rear it is portly but my fixed gear is one gear vs 3x9, no rack ability front and rear, no disc brakes, no dynamo but a ton of fun.
