The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
The one in the shop looked ali, I couldn't lift it properly because of security and the assistant wasn't for releasing it .
I lifted it as far as I could without setting off the alarm and it seemed heavy compared to my current bike which weighs 13.5kg. No weight info on the Orbea website.
This is a ridiculous state of affairs - the assistant should know the weight. I was in Certini in Bristol the other day looking at a rather nice Cube Agree c62 eroad bike. As I started to pick it up to check the weight the assistant hovering nearby leapt in and rather brusquely told me I should ask him if I wanted a bike lifted from it's stand. I asked him how heavy it was and he gave me an 'around' so many kilos - he had no idea. Why won't manufacturers tell us, and why can't dealers weigh the bikes in stock? I'm not going to spend £3.5K without that information. It's also rather naughty to quote the lightest (most expensive) build in your advertising thus giving a false idea of the weight of the more affordable ones in the range.
