Just put some Mavs and a DT shock on mine and thought bugger me that’s light. What you got?

My lovely Yeti

Apologies for the poor image.

11.1kg with 2.25 fatties on

Need to take some photos of mine, will try and do so tonight, 20.4lb Top Fuel, just pretend there’s photos here.

Not as light as it could/should be but I will get there after a bit of time and money!!

njee20- that sounds lush

Oh it is 🙂

Still needs a few tweaks too, it’ll be sub 20 with grippy tyres, determined!

it’ll be sub 20 with grippy tyres

*has just drooled into keyboard*

and for any thieves watching, it definitely doesn’t live in my shed!

My effort, shonky photo, rocketship bike

2011 SC Blur XC Carbon w RP23, Fox F120RLC’s, XTR / XO gearing, Marta SL brakes, Roval Control SL wheels, Racing Ralph / Rocket Ron combo, Syntace stem, Chris King headset, S-Works carbon bars…

Approx 23 lbs, maybe I’m being pesimistic with the weight of my Blur, or njee20 is being overly optomistic with his… things I could change are replacing my Thomson Elite seatpost and lock on grips to foam jobbies but I still struggle to understand how there can be full 3 lb difference between a v top spec Blur xc carbon vs a Top Fuel… 😉

My Epic…best XC race bike i’ve ever ridden.

Oh bugger, my HT is heavier than some of these!

Not ridden this yet, just getting postion sorted

apologies to the OP but fek moi that’s a howler of a bike – light or not

🙄

It’s a bike, not a woman…

Around 22-23lbs, pretty light; soon to be lighter as a SS setup! Plus I’ve swapped the fork for a 2006 SID…

can i add mine (it may not be the lightest/actually do not know the weight?is a small frame) but i love it 😀 sorry for my rubbish attempt at getting air 😳

as it was, not quite how it is.

To be fair one of the lads working at stif has a blur xc carbon that weighs 20.4 lbs so its more than possible. Check out litebike.com if you want to see some REALLY light bikes.

here’s my all-mountain bike – 2011 Devinci Dixon Split-Pivot

27.4lb ain’t bad for a 145mm travel suspension bike with Fox 36 forks, big tires, Renthal 750mm DH bars, SRAM X-9 / X-7, Elixir brakes and no stupid carbon sh*t

Just a squiggle above 11.5 kgs:

And now for some crappy ‘taken in the hall’ photos:

Loads more here

20.45lb… is all of it off the floor… ?

Aye! Photos taken about 30 seconds apart!

Njee20 that’s a nice looking bike. Do you ever have issues with the chain dropping?

Haven’t had so far, been jiggling the chain guide a reasonable amount, when it’s sagged the chain tends to rub on the cage at the top of the block, not helped by the fact it’s bodged, so ‘adjusting’ it consists of bending the stays!

But I’ve yet to drop the chain. Only done 10 hours or so with that on there though.

njee – a bike only its mother could love?

It does look better in the flesh, I hated the look of it in photos, but it’s not bad. Rides well, which frankly is what matters, but yes, the seat mast is a little ‘different’!

By the weekend I should have my sub 20lb Merida 96 built.
it may even be in the low 19’s depending of final spec/fit etc

Pic’s to follow

light by my standards 🙂

Ooo, is it coming to Sherwood? We can have a weigh off, and discuss whose is going to snap first. 😉

Picking this up next tuesday 😀

Not had chance to get mine on some scales yet

My Rush.

Never weighed it but shouldn’t be heavy.

Err Can i ask what constitutes light cos some of them i wouldn’t consider light unless you mean lighter than the standard model!

LOL – please, no snapping 🙂
Sherwood? what’s going on?

we both know that given an extra few £K they could go much lighter – it’s just not the done thing to talk about it on here 🙂 Plastic bikes are evil.
