Yeah mine's a heffer too at 28lbs. http://tinyurl.com/43md96 60cm frame built up with my parts. I do have a Carrdice Barley on the back and a small Nitto rack and handlebar bag up front and two freewheels, plus the repair/patch kit and pump; oh and battery tail and headlights. I did take off the water bottles before I weighed it though. Maybe 28lbs for all that isn't too bad.
I took my Quickbeam for a nice ride this Friday morning in celebration. I am a weather forecaster by profession. Through the cold season I rotate through Day shifts and Graveyards, but in the warm (fire) season its Day and Evening shifts. Friday at 5AM was the last of my Graveyards for the season. Instead of riding straight home, I headed downtown, then out along the Colorado River trail. Drainage winds were blowing briskly downvalley and there were warm advection high clouds partially blocking the full moon. But it was mild, around 50, and lovely. I rode until the eastern sky turned grey, then headed back to Main Street Bagels and had a pastry and juice for breakfast, eating it outside in the fresh air. Then I ambled back home to go to bed around 8AM. Nice way to end the trauma of shift work. Oh and my handlebar bag is a new Acorn Rando bag. Wow what a great, well-thought-out bag. I am really glad I splurged on it. The tan color is quite nice.
