As I recall,
my 60cm crosscheck weighs about 27lb unloaded (and no rack). I agree, weight is not as important as most people think. And I think what people enjoy about light weight is the feeling of lightness from side-to-side motion when hammering out of the saddle -- or the ability of light rims/tires to accelerate -- but I don't think an extra couple pounds makes a significant difference in terms of actual overall speed.
