well, i think the reason for the odd weight is because of the conversion factor from kg to lbs. and since this is mainly sold in asia... i think they care more about the kg weight than the lbs. but i know what you mean though.

perhaps if this bike was offered here in US it would be rounded off.

edit: just wanted to update you guys on the MSRP.
base model T8 version is $900
top of the line V9 with F/R suspension with disc brake w/ 9spd sora: $1500
