that does sound heavy. I will weigh mine tonight; but promise me you won't ask me to weigh my tandem?
(I can see me balancing on the bathroom scale trying to hold the tandem off the ground) no no no. DON'T ask about tandems!!![]()

What about your tandem, mini?

My Specialized Sirrus weighs about 28 lbs including the fenders, rack, headlight but NOT the battery (I can't have it and a water bottle since right now I only have one bottle cage - so the battery was in the backpack, though I didn't expect to need it that day), a full water bottle, computer, bell, cable lock and small seat bag. She was intended as a commuter; I'd like to add bar ends, a frame pump and fender extensions/mud flaps on top of all the crap that I've already loaded onto her.
Well I'll be darned... maybe that wierd "flat bar road bike" designation really does apply. I don't really think of her as a road bike, though, and not just because she doesn't havedrop bars or 23x700c tires (she's got 28's, which is beefy enough for the rough pavement or occasional brick roads you run across here), but because she's better suited to the city than the Sterling CitySport hybrid I had back in the day. That was a great bike - I definitely had the fanciest bike at Sunset Elementary School - but like the weights you all are mentioning now, it weighed in at significantly more than 30 pounds.

I think it's 14.5kg. It was the lightest hybrid I got to try out (and the comfiest) I think my new roadie is 5kg lighter
Hey, HipGnosis6, do you just love your Sirrus? I have a Trek 5000 road bike but I wanted to ride to work 3 times a week and didn't want to take the chance of having my Trek stolen......so, I got the Sirrus and I absolutely love this bike (not in any kind of weird way). I have accessorized it so much (SOMA fenders, SOMA pedals, NiteRider Halogen light, computer, back rack with bag) I feel like I have "pimped" my ride! My ride is only 10 miles each way, mostly on a bike path (Lucky me
), but I always wish it was a longer ride because I enjoy my bike so much.
My Raleigh C700 hybrid weighs 30 pounds.
my tandem.. (and this was really fun to hold while standing on a scale) weighs 41 pounds!
I DO love my Sirrus.... I got the base model in part because it was in my price range and in part because it is ever so functional. I'm always surprised when the bike shop guys tell me, "This is a bike after my own heart." I always ask why, the the responses every time were along the lines of "Because it's clearly a working commuter bike."
I'd never considered it "pimping my ride" but it totally is!![]()
