I have a CC, and I dearly love it.
Is it light? Well, for its type (steel framed CX bike) it is not all that light. I am not terribly concerned about it, given how I use it, but frankly it could be made of better tubing than it is. For the price, I think this would not be an unreasonable expectation of it. So, I consider the criticism of its weight to be legitimate.
However, its many virtues are real and substantial. That bike is practically my best friend.
