Pinches looks like they've got lightweight stuff on it, can't be far off 21lbs. My Rock Lobster (above) with what looks like similar kit and Fox talas 100-140mm forks, weights 21.5lbs. So, with those Fox 100mm forks, it must be close?

re pinches bike, Mine is broadly similar bar the frame and comes in at 25lbs, so i expect pinches to be less than that, but 4lbs? not so sure. Unless of course my scales are wrong and the bike is lighter.

OK, I have a large Scandal with SID forks, set up singlespeed with XTR crankset it does have a Thomson post but it has a KCNC stem (103g), FSA carbon risers 160mm front and rear Hope Mono Mini brakes with Ti Rotor Bolts and aluminium pinch bolts, XTR pedals a selle Italia 185g saddle and foam grips. The heavesiet part is the 1650g wheels which are tubeless with 480g tyres.
It ways (just) 21lb.
Pinches bike at a guess weighs around 24lb>.

Scandal frames weigh 3.25lbs I thought? same as the Rock Lobster Tig sl, I presume the wheels could be around 2 lbs depending on hubs, Rocket Rons I presume weigh slightly less than my Racing Ralphs (it sounds like they should) 2.25 lbs, Fox 100mm forks 3.35lbs???. Looks like Marta SL Mag brakes and fancy rotors, so 1.25lbs approx. XT chainset is approx 1.5lbs. etc etc, it could easily be 22lbs.

Elaine Anne; with precious resources becoming ever more scarce, tiny is the only way forward for our planet.If I had my way, everyone over 5'10 would be banned from owning a bike. Employed only to stack things on high shelves, and hold up umbrellas for environmentally optimised people when it rains. All they're good for.
how would little people get stuff off the top shelf?

@nick - Calling your bike a 'race bike' might be taking things a little far. ;o)
Harsh! But fair
You got a good look at it at Sherwood when I passed you!

25lb

Is that very small, it looks all wrong! You've got a few spacers on there too!
Posted 11 months ago # -
there's no front mech on the pic, seats really low & yeah I need to sort the spacers out - oh its a medium frame
Posted 11 months ago # -
I think it's the low saddle/high bars. Combined with the
less than delicate' frame engineering it just doesn't look racey! Nice bike though, don't get me wrong!Posted 11 months ago # -
suppose I'm just a little weary of sawing some length off the shaft
Posted 11 months ago # -
23lb even. Could shave a bit of weight off going to a double & losing the Flite. But It's old school like the frame.Posted 11 months ago # -
This is the only bike I raced off road on, 27 lbs of bits sourced from mates & bargain bins. Still better than me
Posted 11 months ago # -
Yet to do a race on it but will be soon.....no idea of the weight need to get the LBS to weigh it for me i guess.

You're gonna want a chain guide on that.

Considering you can't spell "weighs" -
It was weighed on scales calibrated a week ago, and i also put it on a different set and it was the same. 145g USE bars, foam grips (11g) , magura marta mag SL carbon brakes with ti hardware, hope lightweight rotors, wheels are SP XC3s @ 1505g on crests (24 spoke), rocket rons 410g, schwalbe XX light tubes (90g), M980 pedals, SLR 135 saddle, token clamp (8g), every bolt is pretty much Ti. The frame weight of mine was bang on 3lb (its an 18").
Posted 11 months ago # -
think a pic on the scale ( a la njee) is in order for these claimed weights. Not that i disagree, just to shut everyone up.
I'll post mine soon, but its around 21.5lb mark, maybe lighter.

I did build up a 21lb hardtail and used that for a while, but it turns out I was always faster on my 24.5lb Epic.
Not a looker I know!Posted 11 months ago # -
In that case pinches, my scales need calibrating.
I'm surprised you are using Thomson stuff though, considering...
Posted 11 months ago # -
well, its a case of i already owned it from a previous build, and didnt have the finance at the time to change it for KCNC or similar.

Curtis 853, currently under respray @ 19.6lb

I would have posted up the Carbon Prongy, but seeing as it has no forks at the mo, I reckon it would be cheating. After the previous week's jaunt on the big Prongy, I reckon I could race on that. It climbs almost as well as the carbon one, anyway. Just a shade under 28lbs (comes in at 12.7kg on the home scales) and without a doubt the fugliest bike you ever did see:

Another for team rock lobster. It's big and it's quite heavy, but it's my only option at the mo!

MRP 1X was £35 last time I bought one.

Not for a seat tube mounted one, which they kindly charge an obscene premium for.

Here you go njee 20
Just a prototype, am not keeping the pink plastic bit. Need to find something more suitable.
Just need to get some nuts for it and it's good to go
Posted 11 months ago # -
Wehay! Should've patented it!
All I found was that I had to run the pink plastic bit at a much sharper angle in order to get the cage sitting over the ring, you may have to play around with it. With it vertical like that the cage sits out behind the ring.

XL frame so bit heavier, prior to selling (sob) wore Hope Crests with Continental Race King SS's and Formula RX1's and came in just over 10kg.

Carbon Marathon by mighty.marmite, on Flickr[/img]Same components on a previous medium s-works stumpjumper came easily under the magical 10kg bar.
