Really? I ride a 7.3 fx (no discs) and it seems lightish to me. To be fair, this is my first bike (not counting the Huffy when I was 10), but I weighed it in at just under 30 pounds, is that heavy? It's served me well and I feel like I lucked out in finding it, the store even cut me a pretty handsome discount.
Like I said, it's my first bike, the only qualm I have with it is that I can't really get into an aggressive position to tackle the one big hill on my commute. I've considered drop bars, but I'm not quite sure if the geometry is long enough to make that work. I dunno, I guess I should ask my LBS gurus.
