It weighs about 25 pounds, which is where most of the sport touring competition was. There is not a lot of love for the Sun Tour AccuShift, but I didn't have any issues with it. Even with a triple crankset and a mountain bike derailleur, it worked well.

Thank you! I'll double check the number today once I'm home but I'm pretty sure I saw a number on the bottom of the bike
