What is the real life weight difference between the two frames and/or complete bikes?
Is a GX cassette going to cost me dear when it needs changing?
Any other thoughts?

It's a £300 difference in the two models. I'm erring towards superfly, as the extra bits like folding tyres and Reba's will add up to significantly lighter ride.

We are trying to order xs/13.5" cycle to work bike for 5' mrs_oab. Open to other suggestions, but of two local LBS, it's either Whyte or Trek for Ickle frames in 27.5" flavour.

My 18.5" (so 29er) Superfly frame weighed 1311g with mech hanger, frame armour stuff and seatclamp, but excluding headset, BB etc. Was a bit disappointed to be honest! Not weighed a Pro Caliber to compare.

Awesome bike though, really like it. Buying now, would probably go for a Top Fuel though MOABMMV.
