I bought the Dutch Gravity 14in Ladies for my wife. I returned it (paying $50 in postage) because it was much heavier than I expected, by 10 pounds or more, although "lightweight" aluminum frame was a part of the description. I have had great experience with Bikesdirect over the years; they, offer bikes that are a much better value than branded equivalents. But I believe Bikesdirect would do itself a favor by making bike weight part of the product description, especially for hybrids. In the meanwhile, buyer caution on weight issues is appropriate. I got it wrong and lost $50 a a lot of time as a result.
