I was browsing over on the Van Nicholas site, and noticed they did a Rohloff version of the Zion. Nice, I thought... until I saw the weight of the thing. The basic build is 29lbs vs 24.1lbs for the normal Zion with similar kit.

What gives? Obviously the EBB takes some of the difference into account, but nearly 5lbs difference? What ever happened to the notion that the Rohloff is the same weight as the parts it replaces? Is that just bullshit?
