My 62cm Legolas (similar or same tubing to the Roadeo) with brifters, road wheels (32h Open Pro, Conti 28mm tires), Berthoud touring leather saddle, saddle bag, repair kit, mini-pump, mini front and rear lights, brass bell, and empty water bottles weighs 25lbs 4oz. A weight with anything less on the bike is purely academic, as that is the minimum that will see road use.
