I think 15 and half kilos is quite substantial for a bike.
By comparison my Tarmac and Venge together weigh less than 15kg
And that's with you on them.....

Not as heavy as my Mrs. Doubtfire, 19 and a half kgis 15 and a half kilos very heavy for a bike? (hybrid)
What is the bike? If it's a racing bike then, yes it's very heavy. If something like a tourer with mudguards & rack it's not too bad.
My knockabout bike, on which I've recently ridden the Hardknott and Wrynose passes is 18kg unladen, so I'd be quite content with something that weighs around 15kg
Yes, I had a 20" granny gear (28t front 34t rear) which worked over the passes. I've changed the gearing in the last couple of weeks but it still gives me a granny gear lower than 22", which should get me up The Long Mynd.
granny ring perhaps?
