Bicycle trivia of the day

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....
