The Town Bike, with racks and fenders but without any actual bags on the racks: 16.65 kg
The Experiment, with racks and fenders but without any actual bags on the racks: 15.88 kg
The Town Bike has less frame and what frame it does have is aluminium. It also has smaller handlebars and an aluminium front rack, versus stainless on the Experiment. I would have thought the wheels on the Experiment would be heavier, as well. (front dynamo, 40 hole tandem touring hub in the rear.) I can't see the drive train (3 vs 2 chainrings, newer and nicer, on the experiment) making up all of the difference but something is.
Can't say as I think it's a bad result....
