I am interested in getting a hybrid bike open frame like that pictured. What is the best one that is less than 10kg? How much would I need to spend roughly?
I have purchased three Islabikes, back when they did just kids bikes. All were fantastic build quality and each time my son outgrew them I sold them for not much less than I paid for them as each year the new price increased quite a lot as demand was so high. (edited)

That looks like the bike I want. 11.5kg is too heavy. I need sub 10kg, so the XS frame at 9.7kg would work

The £500 Janis looks a bargain for what you are getting, here is a favourable review when the price was over £1k!
I do think you have to accept your weight limit might need to be increased as most are over 10kg, 12kg being the lightest after a quick search. (edited)

Have you checked any of those results? They are not exact matches to the search criteria but a best effort. The ones I checked either had no weight given or was over 10kg

update - bought it for £500. too much of a bargain to resist thanks (edited)
If you can spare a few thousand then you can get one hand made.
can you give me a google search link that satisfies all 3 criteria above?
