I'm picking up a C Line Explore and wondering why there's a weight difference between these two. I'm interested in the free bag but I assume there are structural differences if the one above is a KG lighter?
Archive Tempest Blue must be a much heavier colour.
Lead paint?
Might be the included bag, different saddle and S handle bar not being an option with the lower. Probably the latter since it's "from" and handle bar is about the only thing you can customise at checkout.
Also: Since when does the Explore no longer come with dynamo light and luggage rack? Those are quite important features for me, so I'd recommend spending a few more minutes and a few hundred quid into getting them.
Aaaah the handlebar makes sense. Food for thought on the light and luggage rack, thanks. I was going to forgo the luggage rack and upgrade the wheels for now. And use my existing rechargeable lights.
