It would be reasonable to expect a Hunqapillar to weight about two pounds more than an Atlantis with roughly the same components and accessories. At least that is my experience. Some of the difference in my case is the 26x1.5 Pasela tires on my Atlantis are significantly lighter than the 700x50 Schwalbe Big Bens on the Hunq. This thread is interesting - so much of the weight of a bike is in the components, lights, accessories, racks, bags, and what is inside the bags. That stuff has weight, but it is what makes a bicycle more comfortable, practical and useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
