I think I succeeded in that regard as the bike weighed about 21 lbs. built up with pedals, cages and front rack, but not including the saddle bag, lights and computer. I ordered the Jackson frame new from England and the only disappointment was the head tube being 1.5 cm shorter than what they told me it would be, hence the head-tube extender.
