Alas, I don't know what other unloaded Hilsen riders weigh, but I do know that a little common sense doesn't weigh much and will slot nicely into any pannier or saddlebag. I usually pack mine, do whatever additional cipherin' and goes-intas I deem conditionally necessary, and then go for a ride. The bike hasn't come apart underneath me yet, so I'm comfortable with the approach.
