Absolutely no idea! I had a 26" one from a random seller a few years ago and it was great, although the geometry was a little odd - short TT.

A little more expensive, but [url= http://www.flyxii.com/products.asp?menuid=336 ]these guys[/url] have a choice of models and a little more info, but dunno on weights.
