perhaps they have a steel version?. I was very pleasantly surprised at
how light they were for they type; aluminum versus pot steel. (My
daughter has a 24" women's 3 speed model, too.)

A billion stars go spinning through the night
Blazing high above your head;
But in you is the Presence that will be
When all the stars are dead.
(Rilke, Buddha in Glory)
