The Soma's weight appears to include the fork; the Surly's seem to seperate out the fork and the frame. If you add them together, the Surly's are close to, or over, 7 pounds.
But I agree that the don't indicate what size frame they're weighing.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
