Light weight hybrid

Hi I couldn't find a hybrid section, hope this the right forum... 
I'm about to get a hybrid bike and I noticed that the weight is commonly NOT mentioned online nor in the shops labels...It seems that the approximate weight of a bike is hard to get... is it really?
The weight is my main concern. Another reason apart from the obvious ones, is that I need to get my bike in my flat on the second floor with no lift.
So I was wondering if someone may advice me about which relatively cheap hybrid I could look into that are not heavier than 24lbs.
I saw the boardman comp at £450 in Halfords as an offer. But what about other brands? Such as Specialized, Scott, Giant, or more?
Thanks in advance

Cant do better than Boardman at that price, in my opinion.
If there is a Decathlon near you then worth a look at theirs - they also have some cracking bikes for the money.
If you want cheaper, the Carrera Gryphon is really light for the money - it surprised me.0 -
Try browsing the Edinburgh bike co-op website. They weigh bikes with pedals and bells, and therefore give a realistic weight compared to manufacturers websites.0
