I wouldn't be bothered by the weight.
My Super V's weigh in at 10kg but they're 90's MTB technology. These day they're so much lighter. Here's my old secret to road training......I did all of it on MTB's with slicks or knobby's simply because when I climbed aboard the roadie I absolutely flew.
Occasional did the Aust Time trial ***. 25km TT at Calga NSW then and recorded a PB of 34mins 19sec. on the red Super V in the pics earlier posted on 23mm slicks.

Here a little story on the bike back then in Aust Cyclist
