7 Summits @178 cm = 6.39 lbs or 2,898.45 grams according to scale at Ute City Cycles, Carbondale, CO. So nearly identical to Manaslu in weight at same length.

Lou: Thanks 7 Summits purchased, based upon weight, versatility, solid construction and price. Stores are starting to dump inventory early this year.
Thanks, George
PS Maybe I can find some striped pants like Dave’s on sale. Ya think? (grin).

In this case, I’d say a demo might be called for….

@George — Can’t we all be smooth? :) I’m going to let Lou make the call between the 7Summits and Superlights as I haven’t skied either.

Lou: I appreciate the weissbier comparo. How about a picture of a Kristallweizen which of course is lighter and an Austrian specialty. More bier pics which are worth a thousand words and mouth full of saliva.
Dave: Sorry your striped pants distract most of us from seeing smooth instead of power. Perhaps my style is more smooth finessed meadow skipping compared to your smooth huck power. So your recommendation– 7 Summits or K2 Superlights?
Mike: Thanks for the input.
Best, George
