Im sure you will be delighted with your cx purchase. I havent even considered riding any other bike since I git mine mid December last year.

What are they weighing these days?

Top end carbon hardtails can be down to 8kg and even full suspension can get below 10kg. You're talking big money though.

My alloy CX (without its rack on) is between 10kg and 11kg, my upgraded entry level MTB is just a little under 13kg now.

Gorgeous looking thing if it is - plus says it is lighter than most road bikes.

CX bikes do seem to be good value, but with a lot of them, weight seems to be approaching mountain bike levels...

My CX bike is less than 9kg (not with me on it, obviously). I think that it's great.

I always wondered if 1-2kg can really make a difference to an average rider.. In my head 5kg+ is something that you could possibly feel, but anything lower not.. In any case I am now waiting for the bike Sheffield riding clubs added on twitter as well.. Very excited
