Bike weight

[Deleted member 20519]

Just weighed my Triban 3, it weighs in at 10:43 kg or 23 pounds - the only changes made are Vitorria Pro Slick tyres, Charge Spoon saddle, bottle cage and a set of lights. Not bad at all.

I weighed mine the other week - it's a Python Quantum 8200 'urban bike' - with lights, bike computer, bottle cage, pump and pannier rack all comes in at 37 lbs or 17.6 Kg

more the twice the weight of my venge

Ah but you paid probably 5 or 6 times the amount - seems like pretty poor ROI no? For £3-4k I'd be expecting 5kg and it to pedal itself

My Giant is probably around 10-11kg naked and the Pave 8-9? Feels a big difference to lift when you are feeble like me

My quick is currently at 10.8 kg with bar ends, speedometer and bottle cages and spd pedals.

Minus the bar ends pump and pedals it came in at 10.2, if I took off both bottle cages and the pump mount it would reduce a bit more, though I don't think I can get it below the magic 10kg!

Mine would be around 9.9kg without my spd-sl pedals.

Is that naked weight or with pedals, bottle cage etc?

Are you saying wobblybob has to be naked to weigh the bike. Seems a bit extreme .

My Revolution Streetfinder '11 is 15.56kg - so not very light at all!

 

[Cyclist33]

Realistic riding weight, with lights, a pack of pucnture fixing stuff n simple tools, a bottle of water and a mounted pump, and a speedometer, 11.9kg. Would be 12.7 with the winter wheels on.

Weight without panniers and lights, but including rack and guards is 9kg (8kg without rack). Loaded, then at least double it with locks, clothes, lights. The pannier loaded is heavier than the bike.

One of my bikes is a 1970's Raleigh 3-speed with a 20 inch frame - it also weighs about 14kg.

My 1990's Raleigh 3-speed with a 24 inch frame weighs about 15kg. For steel-framed bikes each additional inch on the seat tube seems to add about half a pound to the bike's overall weight.

My 1980's 10 speed raleigh Wisp is 40lb with pannier, windproof, one bottle of water etc. I think it's about 36lb without. It has got heavy tyres on it, flat pedals, a handlebar mounted waterbottle, metal mudguards, steel pannier rack... I did 175 miles on it last week (a fluke). This week I am mostly tired.

No idea the weight of any of my bikes. It's not really of much interest either, all I can say is that they are sufficiently light.

 

[KateK]

Or, given the wind in autumn, sufficiently heavy..

My two 20 plus year old steel bikes weigh 9kg's - not bad considering a steel frame and fork is about 2.5-2.7kg, compared to less than 1.5kg for a carbon frame and fork !
