I think that's it. Weighs in at 19.5 lbs on my bathroom scale.

Can I ask about the Frogs? How do you like them? Do they need constant oiling? And (sorry to bother you with this) could you give an estimate on how far they sick out from their insertion point in the crank? I upgraded to Egg Beaters, but my suitcase won't close unless I take one of them off. They are much longer than the salesperson told me they were. So, I'm considering swapping them for Frogs. I would use light actions, but I have SPD shoes.
