I have a Cross Check and am always surprised at how light it is, but this is compared to my vintage Motobecane which weighs quite a bit. I love my CC though, its my dream bike and makes me excited to go to class every day. However, I'm really tall so I'm not sure the weight or size of mine would relate. I am really happy with my purchase though and tell my partner every day how much in love with my bike I am. He just shakes his head.
