I will try to remember to weigh mine before building it up. I have two from the previous batch, and I have had lots of other frames for comparison. Bearing in mind I'm super skinny and riding them on ~48mm tires, they feel notably stiffer than my skinny-light-tube noodle Terraferma, on the stiff-ish side of my road bikes (Rivendell custom, Waterford ST-22, Heron Road), similar to the Bleriot, quite a bit more springy than the Waterford-built Riv ATB, and like a limp noodle compared to the Cheviot. The best comparison would be my BreadWinner G-Road, and it should say something that my new Sam is replacing my G-Road. A bit more springy, mostly because of the fork, I think, and a bit better fit.
