Surly LHT question

I'm shopping for a new ride and will be replacing and selling my 520 because of the tire width with fenders limitation. Admittedly, I tend to over research and paralysis by analysis is a problem I'm aware of and work to control.

I'll be looking at a few bikes and certainly can't ignore the LHT. I've looked on the Surly site and Googled to get information, but I can't find the weight of the built 700c or 26" LHT anywhere.

If you have one and know it's weight could you please share.

Yes, I know it's heavy and yes, I know it's not particularly speedy and that it's weight is offset buy its durability, strength and dependability. I just want to have as much information as possible for comparison. A pound or three won't sway me, but if there's a huge discrepancy it would be good to know.

BTW, I will certainly test ride all bikes I'm considering. I can't imagine buying a bike without testing for fit and other variables.

Thank you.
