Show us your average weighted bike
Postby tk38 » Wed Jun 20, 2012 8:11 pm
If you bike is over say 7kg, maybe you should post it here?
Here you won't need to say it's "not the lightest" etc.
Well this is my Bianchi. About 8.7kg all up with lights and things. Quite the fatty.

More importantly, the extra bulk gives a little more confidence that it will survive the harsher roads out here in the sticks

What made this weighed 8 k's when this ain't no entry level bike?Cardy George wrote:At a little over 8 kegs without lights, bottles etc it's definitely no fly-weight, but it's oh-so-comfortable, great to look at and wicked quick through the twisties. So much so I set a Strava PB for a downhill run without getting close to the limit.

Spot on TG. And for aftermarket wheels they're not exactly light either. The winds around here get very nasty with nothing but flat ground to break them up. And just cos it's all carbon doesn't necessarily make it feather light. It's a Gran Fondo style frame, not an out and out racer.trailgumby wrote:Aero wheels ain't light. But then on the flat they don't need to be, slicing through the air is much more important.

Weight was about 8.7kg with pedals and lights when running 105, so now it'd be about 8.7kg

7.40kg of 2010 Fuji SL1 Comp & Farsports carbon clinchers, though I usually race it at over 8kg with Powertap Elite+ hub laced to a Mavic Pro rim on the back. This is the setup for a hilly race this weekend. Might lose another 200 grams if I have time to complete upgrading of bars, shifter, RD and brakes.
The scary bit is this is the heavy SL1 Comp 1220g frame & 710g fork, not the lightweight SL1 RC 920g frame & 400g fork and my new frame & fork is even lighter than the SL1 RC and I have been saving some lightweight components for it.

As pictured 10.2kg of Belgian steel, well high end Italian steel in a frame made in Belgium or more likely Italy and labelled in Belgium in the early nineties. Mixed Campagnolo groupset, Veloce brakes (only because no silver Athena brakes available at the time), 10 speed centaur shifters, 11 speed Athena drivetrain to the SRAM cassette on my training wheelset. Used on this morning's wet group/training ride, so it get used, just have not found the need to race it.
Get accused of being too flemish by a walloon friend, Lion of Flanders saddle, helmet, socks and flemish cycling jersey does that.
10.6kg of 1989 Repco Olympic 12 converted to singlespeed and now rather white.( Yes it needs new/clean bar tape). Qualifies as a "road bike" as I use it as a training bike (as well as long haul commuter). Threatened to race on it last weekend, but wimped out, should of, would not of done worse.
I do have a couple more steel bikes, a early ninties 531 Giessauf currently attached to my train and was raced by me earlier this year. Will get photos when I upgrade from 105 to Rival. 2004 KHS flite 800 in 853, currently being rebuilt with Ultegra 6600 and should come in under 8.5kg

2012 model EMC R2.4, on bathroom scales with the alloy platform pedals (still working up towards clipless) is apporx. 9.2kgs... very rough measure to say the least, but I am pretty happy with it as it is my first road bike.

The most effective (and happily the cheapest) way to cut a couple of kgs is to lose it off the rider anyway.
So, to anyone contemplating spending thousands to trim a couple of kilos from the ride, wouldn't you (and your treasurer at home) feel so much better if you dropped those kgs at the waist instead?
(Excusing those that already have done so, though most riders I see in the ride in have at least that modest amount to spare.)

Couldn't agree more! One week before Xmas I was 84kgs which is pretty overweight for my height. I decided to get stuck into a combination of regular road and mountain biking, making better choices on what I eat (without banning anything!) and eating regularly through the day and some jogging.ColinOldnCranky wrote: The most effective (and happily the cheapest) way to cut a couple of kgs is to lose it off the rider anyway.
Now weighing in at 72.5kgs
