Nun: thats LIGHT. I've only managed to get mine down to 42 pounds, including the weight of an extrawheel trailer and a Jandd Touring Handle Bar Pack I handlebar bag.

so thats like probably 30 pounds of actual gear. I'm not including water here. my first tour I started at around 60 including weight of front and rear panniers.... kept sending gear home on that trip.

I'm liking how I do it now, but still could drop more weight off. Seems like I notice EVERY extra pound when climbing those huge passes. FOr me this is true when riding loaded, or an totally unloaded racing bike. ALWAYS into loosing weight...
