6spd C Line is 31lbs 12oz w/out battery,P Line 4spd is 28lbs 3oz. The battery in the small bag adds about 7.5lbs.

Mechanic at the DC Junction here. Most of the folks who have gotten Brommies for boat bikes have either just gone with an A Line to save dosh,or they've gone with a P or T for the weight savings.
