Bike weight

[Drago]

My Felt. Dunno, pretty light I guess.

My Pinnacle. Not quite as light as the Felt.

My Trance. A bit heavier.

My Alpinestars. Lighter than the Trance.

My Saracen. Pretty hefty.

My Elswick. Not too bad.

My Pace. Dunno yet as been too busy (lazy) to get round to bolting it together.

Even if I were interested, knowing weight of each of my mules is of zero utility hence not having put them on the scales.

 

[Over The Hill]

Bike with me on it and some water about 90kg So really see not need to suffer or sweat over the odd 2kg.
Prefer to enjoy the hour cycling and get there 30 seconds later.

I'm hoping to afford a new bike soon.

Holy cow! That's not a bicycle, that's an old Volvo with 2 wheels missing!

It's not as good as that.

At 20kg I'd be wondering if I needed to pass a M/cyle test to ride it. As a matter of interest my old Dawes trips in a a tad under 10kg

 

[Sbudge]

N=1: Enigma with lights, toolkit etc 8.2kg
N=2: Planet X (with same) 8.4kg

But neither have much on them at all so not really 'proper' winter spec.

Have you stolen my Trax TFS.1 and painted it blue..?

I'll grant it looks similar, but it's my son's discarded Tesco Special, and no, it doesn't have a Shimano rear mech. It has, however, got me riding & fixing bikes again.

My Kinesis Pro 6 with full mud guards and rack comes in at about 10.2kgs, my summer bike comes in at 7kgs. While it is not all down to the weight, my summer bike goes a lot better than the Kinesis.

Just about to get a winter bike (demoting the Kinesis to commuting duties), so that'll get put on the scales at LBS to see where it comes in. I am guessing it'll be a touch over 8kgs, which from an alu frame and disc brakes, probably isn't that bad. Here's hoping it'll go like the wind too

BTwin Triban 500 SE; 10.6kg
Old Reliable (Apollo TDF); 11.5kg
Old Unreliable (Mongoose Crossway); not sure, but it's attracting small planetoids around it, how something cast in 6061 ally can have the density of lead is staggering.

I think my flat bar hybrid is 13.5k with the rack.

Not a problem as I seldom do over 200km in a day

Curious, so just weighed it, Peugeot road bike (steel obvs) with mudguards, mud, saddlebag, mounts etc still on, 12.5kg. Add in the lock, water bottle and lights you're probably looking at another 3kg.

 

[summerdays]

I've no idea but as I normally cycle with a heavy pannier it's a bit pointless, I suspect sometimes the pannier weighs more than the bike!

The makers say 10 kg and I have not checked. As a few others do, I carry a large saddlebag, spares, camera and so on, one of these ( warmer ) days I will ride the bike without all that and be totally converted to the lightest possible and no spares. Maybe.
