I’d say it’s a little over 25lbs with the dropper post. The rigid fork is original and it is geometry correct for the frame. With the tires having around 12lbs in the front and maybe 14 or so in the rear it runs over choppy stuff with ease. Rock gardens are not bad either.
Changing over to ss takes some doing but the dropouts make it easier and I have a spare wheel with a cog already on it. When I do it stays that way for a while.
For a ss on a budget go with a Redline monocog and get a decent wheel set, carbon fork and you’re gold. Great frame with drop outs so ingenious the boutique bikes look out done. I think they still use Reynolds chromoly for their frame material. Used they are a bargain. I even raced one for a couple seasons. Best cheap bike ever made...
