What do you think of the tyres and wheels? Are they heavy? Does it
have mudguard eyes?
Did you weigh it ?

I have been looking at this in the catalogues for myself.

Yes, it has mudguard eyes. The tyres fitted as standard are designed for
mixed on/off road use, will cope with slippery surfaces, and consequently
are heavier and noisier and have higher rolling resistance than good slick
tyres. But you could always fit slicks.
