[young Ed]

Too much.

 

[moo]

Weighing only 64kg I prefer the heavier bike in this weather

25 year old steel bike 9kg.

That is pretty light for a steel bike! My Basso is steel and weighs about 10 kg. Hmm, yes - I suppose I could probably lose 0.5 kg on the wheels/tyres and another 0,5 kg on lighter parts.

My aluminium Cannondale weighs about 8.5 kg. That could also do with a wheel diet. I could probably get it down to 7.75 kg without spending a fortune.

Hold on, your saddle pack is normal size. Going any smaller will make very little difference in weight. You are talking about grams difference.

 

[Saluki]

and that weighs?

oh come on that sound like some good bike porn! any chance of a pic of the beast?
Cheers Ed

Here you go. Weight taken from PX website for that bike. It's definitely lighter than my PX CX, which is a good kilo heavier. Bluey is very light, I really notice it up hills.

17.6.lb for the Evo now if you think I have any clue how much all the others weigh, I have not a clue or the will.

Loosing weight on a bike is fun but can be very expensive for very little or no gain . Look at aero positions , its cheaper !

You just need more miles in your legs that's all. Oh yes, and stop turning such a high gear all the time.

I will have to take my recumbent trike to the public weightbridge to find out!

It is made of lead rain gutters reinforced with concrete. ......
actually it is about 17kg excluding rack and mud guards and my overfilled panniers!
With panniers it weighs about the same as a small house - especially going up hills. Maybe I should revise what I carry - but I know that the day I set off without 3 spare inner tubes and a repair kit, or the spare 8 links of chain, or the first aid kit including an adult and a child size airway, or the large adjustable spanner, or the spare set of spare lights (in case my spare set doesn't work) or the multi tool, or the spare battery for my phone (even though my phone will run fine for a day or two even with sat nav running) or the spare.........well you get the jist.
