Whoa. Don't be deceived here. Your current setup weighs 20-25lbs cuz you have accessories like maybe a rack, fenders, kickstand and of course ultra-cool lights

. Your new setup may end up the same weight or heavier. It might be good to factor in the weight of current accessories also.
Accessories at lb each add up! My bike weighs 18lbs assembled w/wheels but stripped. But with lights/batteries, seat-post rack and fenders, it's up to 25lbs!
