Those Atlantis and San Marcos weights are really impressive. That Atlantis build has basically nothing light on it, has full-on heavy wheels, and still is only 26 pounds? That's a big surprise. The San Marcos would be under 20lbs if you took off the kickstand, pump and seat bag? That's incredible. I never would have thought that possible. It's got 2 top tubes for gosh sake! There are pounds to be taken off both builds, but 'reasonable' is in the eye of the beholder. I assume you mean reasonable in dollars. Chasing grams on a perfectly good build is a fool's errand. Chasing grams from a blank sheet of paper is bad enough.
