How much does your bike weigh?

[Bike Writer]

Couldn't find a thread with that subject so I figured I'd start one. Just curious. According to what I can find online my bike weighs 42 pounds. I got on my scale and picked up my bike and the scale added about 39 pounds, it was kind of hard to get the little weight gizmo to balance correctly for the correct weight because I had to keep lifing my bike up and putting it down to move the indicator on the weight beam. (it's the kind of scale you used to find in a Dr. office)

Anyway I'm not sure how accurate it is with the bike swaying around a bit, I am certain that the scale is accurate and is calibrated because I put stuff with known weight on it and it's right on. For example a 10# dumbell weighs in at #10 exactly.

So in the end, I am going to claim my bike weighs 39 pounds.

My FS mountain bike weighs 38 lbs. It was 39.5 prior to changing the tires... Haven't weighed the road bike.

I am not a weight weenie so I honestly don't care, but I think the LBS has a scale. My mountain bike is probably about 27-28 and my roadie around 20-21 maybe. I get the benefit of having tiny frames (47 cm road, 15.5 inch mountain) which sheds some weight. I could benefit most though by lightening up my weight.

Did you have the shop weigh your bike? I got the weight of mine based on the Bicycling review of the previous year model and then probably a pound or two more for pedals. I can't imagine it weighs 10 lbs less than yours when component for component they were pretty equal when I was shopping!

My road bike is listed as something like 16.7 lbs without pedals, but once you put on pedals, bike pump, saddle wedge and water bottles full of water, it's quite a bit heavier. I've never bothered to weigh it loaded up because for as long as I've been riding, the biggest weight factor is the extra fat on my rear end anyway!

My trek 1000wsd 48cm (aluminum with carbon fork) is about 20lbs.

My navigator is way more!

Wow! What is it? I seem to remember via search you had a Madone which was totalled due to a crash that was not your fault. Was that you? Did you get a replacement?

My one road bike is 16 lbs (compact double), the other is 18 lbs (triple). My mountain bike is 21 lbs (hardtail), and my surly is 25 lbs.

My road bike is 17, with everything on it, 20. I'm working on getting new wheels to replace my current dead weights. My husband's bike is 13.7 though! It's the bike he's looking to sell as well. He's having a custom Ti frame made for him that will be around 14 pounds as well.

I believe my SuperSix is about 15.8. I'm a total weight weenie and used to know exactly, but it's been a while. I know it's under 16 with pedals, but no bike bag or bottles. It's a 54 frame, so if I were shorter, my bike would weigh even less.

I have a 47cm carbon that weighs about 14 lbs. It feels lighter than my purse when I pick it up.

yep! I replaced it with the exact same thing - different color!

and to be fair, like Bliss it is also a 47

My Luna is about 18 with pedals, cages and bag; the QR is closer to 20 and the Salsa with rack and panniers is about 35.

My 44cm Ruby weighs 16.2 lbs with pedals and bottle cages (compact double). I guess I could shave a lb with lighter wheels (serious $$) and brakes (has 7700 dura-Ace, not light but good feel).

The commuter I ride to work, a Fuji Newest 3 (XS) frame with my parts (compact double) and rear rack weighs 27.6 lbs (without the trunk bag).

I've got two mtbs, a Giant Anthem-W (S) with a lot of upgraded parts, 27.5 lbs with bottle cages and pedals and my S-Works Safire (S) weighs 25.8 with cages and pedals. It would weigh less but I prefer tires with meat on them over the weight weenie 'Furious Fred' types. This is one place where performance in the rough trumps 200 grams each.
