Rack, basket, fenders, kickstand, tools/spares/pump are ~12lbs. Cool hand brazed frame, 5 speed IGH, drum brakes and dynohub (and sexy 1 piece crank) make the bike ~32lbs stripped. A bike without the extra isn't of much use to me. My roadie weighs 27lbs....
The Pashley gives a similar ride, all set to go for a very reasonable price. People drop $10K on a wristwatch and $1K on dinner, for those folks a Pasley is cheap. I'd rather have a Pasley than some hidious 20lb CF urbanized Trek.

He probably would not ride either. He has a downhill rig and a street trials rig that he built exactly the way he likes them. He has ridden many bikes and does not see the point of actually riding non-mountain bikes. Other bikes are appreciable only as art.
If I found a Pashley 26Mhz frame, he would explode from happiness, though.
