Funny you should ask. Curiosity got the better of me the other day and I weighed both my Trek 1000 (alpha) and my 20 yr old ridged frame Rock Hopper. The Trek came in at 24 lb with seat bag and water bottle, and the RockHopper came in at 32 lb with lights, seat bag and water bottle.

As far as feeling a difference sprints and loading into the pickup are the two main places I feel it.
