Just out of curiosity, I put my 54cm Hunq frame on the bathroom scale when it arrived, it tipped over 9 lbs with the headset. I'm not sayin' that's scientific or accurate but it's heavy. Of course compared to the Bomba, the Hunq will have longer fork and stays to accomodate 700c wheels. I don't really care, I just wanted a frame of reference when the inevitable question occurred. It's meant to be the goanywhereanytimeunderanyconditionsfullyloadedforbigboys bike, and it is.
