...if those bikes are that light, it seems like it would be easy to build a 27 lb touring bike even w/nexus even out of steel.
My thoughts exactly! I'm not a weight weenie either, just wondering why the euro commuters are that heavy. Like I said before, I guess the Uptown 8 is a good compromise at 33.5lbs. I just wish it were steel and had 700c wheels!
