I have no idea. I didn't intend to make it any lighter than normal. I do have a a salsa crossing guard in lieu of a big chain ring on the front. I assume that's a little lighter than the full ring. But not much. I don't have a brooks saddle, I have a velo-plush nothing-fancy-but-I-love-it saddle. The rear rack is the nitto big rack and the front rack is the campee front rack. The fenders are velo-orange zeppelins. The wheels are velocity synergy's, there's nothing terribly original about this bike (other than, of course that it is mine! :) I'll be glad to go through a full parts spec w/you if that's helpful. -sv [dougpnirv] No, it was more an academic question, hardly worth an ounce by ounce comparison. Weight's not really a consideration in buying an Atlantis . The only reason I know what mine weighs is I had to figure it all out to keep it under 50 lbs (packed) for a plane ride last year. And of course once you start weighing stuff it's hard to stop. I would have guessed the fenders and larger front rack on yours would have made it heavier. The chain guard vs full ring and tire differences probably not a big deal. The saddles can't be too different. It's probably my steel granny gear. dougP --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
