My hybrid weighed about 30lbs my sweet roadie only weighs 14lbs. Makes me smile just thinking about the first time I got on it and noticed the weight difference.I still don't goas fast as I want to but I'm working on that.

My Kuota Kebel carbon, x-small, with a triple, weighs 14.7 pounds with the wheels, and obviously, more with the bag on it.
The Jamis Coda Femme 44 cm weighs around 25 lbs., but with the pannier on (it's always on), weighs about 30. I like the feel of steel, but this bike just feels super heavy to me. It has very low gearing, though, so I can basically go up really steep climbs, spinning at 4 miles per hour. I really want that Sweet Pea Mixte that weighs 22 pounds, but if I get that, there will be no touring bike in my future.
I have no idea how much my Norco FS mountain bike weighs. I hardly ever ride it, and when I rode it last month, it felt heavy.
I love the lightness of my road bike and I am very spoiled by it.

I like bikes, sometimes more than my husband
My Fuga is a tad under 20 lbs, and Puddin' is around 24, including a handlebar bag. I don't even notice a difference anymore.

Weighed mine this morning at the LBS - 21.02 lbs with pedals, 2 bottle cages, computer and tail light - I did remove the bottles themselves and seat bag. This is with my Easton EA wheelset, though. I'll have to weigh it tomorrow once I remove my cages and throw the cross wheelset on![]()

I chose to weigh mine in an approximation of "as I ride it," not "stripped down." I'm pretty much the opposite of a weight weenie, and basically don't give a rat's heinie about shaving off POUNDS, let alone ounces.
Road bike (51cm Jamis Satellite Femme): 25 lbs.
That includes accessories (computer, Power Grips, frame pump, and seat bag with spare tube, patch kit, multitool, levers). Bottle cages, too, of course, but not filled water bottles, because I don't feel like wasting or drinking two bottles of water right now!
Commuter (17" Trek 7.2FX WSD): 32 lbs.
That includes a Planet Bike EcoRack, two Wald folding baskets, one bottle cage, but again no water. I suppose I could have plunked my school bags into a basket for even more realism, but... it's Saturday evening. I'm not going near that stuff!
Sitting in my living room looking pretty (?" Raleigh Grand Prix Mixte): 28 lbs.
This one is actually pretty naked. It used to carry the rack and baskets before I got my Jamis and made my Trek into the dedicated commuter. I don't seem to have a niche for a semi ill-fitting vintage bike in my life, so I might be selling it. :/
ETA: a couple forgotten accessories.

My LHT with rack, fenders and seat bag weighed in at 33 pounds (and that is without my seat trunk - but I don't always have that with me). I knew Ms. Explorer isn't a light weight but didn't think that she weighed that much.

No... After a mountain ride, hanging out in the garage, and someone pulled out a scale and we had an impromptu bike weighing party. :-) Mine was the heaviest, actually. One of the guys trimmed my seat tube down, changed the tires out, and got the weight down some.
Edit - you know what? went back and read my post and your right. I'm off 10lbs. It was 29.5, and down to 28lbs. Jeez...

WOW lotsa #14 pounders in the bunch, MtnBikerChick, Bliss, Crankin, Jelee131 and one with a better half who has a 13.7 pounder. Loads in the 20-22 # range and down also. Point is; of course road bikes are light, that’s a given at least in modern times. But some of the interesting items are the fully loaded bikes that weigh in at 33#, thereabouts or less even.
Mine is a comfort cruising bike loaded with items like fenders, rear rack, big heavy rattan basket, heavy pedals, a lock and small tool kit, etc. So this easily explains why I see people flying up some really big hills and they don’t look like they’re dying doing it. Hills are my nemesis, not the down part that’s a big “wheeeeee” it’s the climbing of them. I’ve read nearly every post on this forum about hill climbing and posts have confirmed the following. Most of the problem with climbing is me. Not conditioned enough yet to tackle much beyond gentle inclines and small hills and me personally carrying around extra weight. Not just the bike, the bike is a fraction of my own weight. But I could see how when a person is better conditioned from training on hills that bike weight would play a role.
The other reason for seeking what other bikes weigh is that last week I was on a get away with my sister along the shores of Lake Michigan, there is a bike route connecting various communities along the shoreline of the big lake like; Grand Haven, Holland, Saugatuck and other communities to the north and south of those mentioned.
Consequently there are some really nice bike shops in those communities and I happened on one in Holland and of course I had to peruse the merchandise and ogle the long shiny rows of bikes. One featured bike stood out because it was the type of bike I have, a commuter made for comfort and running errands. A workhorse bike. The owner told me it was a European bike where bikes aren’t hobby items but transportation. It had an integrated large wire front basket that was painted the same color as the bike so it didn’t look like an add on, fenders, a rear hub that housed the gears in the wheel and a completely enclosed chain guard . It was one sweet bike and then the owner mentioned that it was light.
I picked it up and was astonished! It felt like it weighed ½ of what my bike weighs and I would have thought it heavier by its looks because it looked so big and sturdy and loaded with stuff. It had a name on it "Gary Fisher" and I googled them when I got home but have not been able to find that white and lime green bike anyplace.
Looks can be deceiving and I know I’ll be dreaming of that bike for some time to come. For sure on my next trip out there I’ll be brining my bike and trying out that lakeshore path.
Thanks for all the replies

I don't know how heavy my Marin is, it feels like when I'm riding it fast(ish) and seems to weigh a ton when I'm lifting it over the garage stepI've added fenders, rear rack, kickstand and pump so far. I'm amazed by these 14lb bikes - lighter than a baby!
That Gary Fisher sounds very pretty, Bike Writer, I'll see if I can track it down on this side of the pond. I hope you and your sister had a good break. I adore many of the Pashleys, but they don't look at all light.
edited to add - this one?

To be fair, I must mention that my 33# bike obviously isn't a road racing bike but a touring bike. She is built for all-day comfort and for climbing hills - not speed. She has a full mountain rear cassette and if her engine were up to it, could ride from coast to coast fully loaded![]()
My Serotta is right at 20lbs. ready to go. I wouldn't trade that steel frame for Gold.
