    Its cool, i get out plenty, just when i was stripping my old bike and cleaning the parts to swap over to the new frame I figured I might as well weigh everything. I ain’t no weight weenie but its good to know what everything weighs when considering upgrades.

    Solitude 29er (4.52lbs frame only) drop bar singlespeed with On-One carbon forks, Phil Wood / DT TK7.1 rims, WTB tyres, Thudbuster post and other reliable but not really light kit = @27lbs Designed for all day / multi day rides with bivvi kit (another 10-15lbs) and minimal maintenance.

    OS Bikes Blackbuck 29er EBB (5.4lbs frame only) with Juicy 7’s, Mav SC32’s, Hope SS hub / DT X470 rims, WTB Exiwolf / Stout tyres with slime tubes, Mary bars, CC Thudbuster post, cheap Race Face cranks @29lbs ish Designed as my hooligan bike for messing about on, ie 3-4hr rides with the club in the Cotswolds / FoD.

    I know I could get them lighter but only at a cost (financial, reliability, maintenance) and TBH I would not ride any better 🙂

    I think the Bontrager is around 25lbs, depends on tyres, i can get it down to 24.5lb with faster tyres.

    Yes but your frame will disintegrate and your wheels will fall off if you lay it down the wrong way 😀

    Thorn Catalyst around 32 pounds. Rohloff, Magura Oder forks and a Son Dynohub don’t make for a light bike when you start with a steel frame built for durability. I only weigh a hundred pounds more than it myself. I don’t find the weight an issue for most of my riding which is usually under two hours but by the end of a three hour ride on Friday the final hill, the steepest of the ride, was hard. Long term plan is to get a Van Nicholas Zion Rohloff frame and try to lose a bit of weight with that and a few component upgrades. In an ideal world I’d like a 25lb Rohloff equipped hardtail.

    My Summer Season was at 29.5 (shop scale)with the on-one wheels and finishing kit, revelation, and mountain king 2.4s. I’ve owned 22lb racing bikes, just not my thing anymore.

    OP, be pleased to know your FSA headset is lighter than King’s £110 offering 🙂

    (presuming that includes topcap/bolt and star fangled nut)

    I’m hoping to break the magical 10kg when my Simple arrives in June.

    SLR, Olympic Rims/rev spokes, Easton ec/ea90, XTR, Chris King, Mini X2 Pro, Racing Ralphs, foam grips ;-)……

    Not sure if it will, but here’s hoping.
