Fizzer. 21.5 pounds I think. I could balance it on a semi.

have a look at lightbike.com... some crazy stuff on there... they are mostly customized without a triple crank, but are quite impressive!

I think what'd be interesting is the lightest bike belonging to the heaviest person.

Im 15.5st and ride a 24lb 5" hardtail, and a 23lb-ish 4x bike.
Thats almost 10lb of me for every lb of bike.Posted 2 years ago # -
surely in any bike:body weight ratio contest Ton would win without trying?
Mountainbike 29.2lb with (burgtechs and tubes adding a good 2.5lb there!)
BMX 29.2lb (realy should put this on a diet at some point)

I built this for SSUK08 and it was 17lbs. This year I took the gears of my anthem and it was 21lbs.
Seems to work- it wasn't skittish, was very very fast uphills and capable downhills. I was leading for a while but I lost some air in the rear tyre and so finished 4th- both years I've finished 4th in fact. And it seems every other result I got this year was 4th. Maybe if I built a 14lb bike I'd win...

Some really daftly specced bikes on that site.

Dougal's is 20.5lbs for a bouncy bike IIRC, mine is a around 21lbs depending on tyres etc.

ss & ridgid Klein Attitude 20lb 3oz.
To be fair that is without any significant expenditure to lighten it and some frankly innapropriate choices of bits for a 'light bike' (including hope bulb front hub, cheap inners, old 4pot xt disk brake).
...and I'm about 12.5 st

Semi what Dave???
20.9 actually.

I have a Merida FLX (can't recll the number - 5000? - ) that was one down from the Team Bike in 2008. About 22lbs. Only difference I think was XTR / Sram kit. £4k new.
It's going on eBay this weekend as I don't ride it much as I seem to have been bitten by the 29er bug!

mines 21lb but its non bouncy at the back and has a stupid saddle on it- brooks need to get on the case of a light saddle ....
Posted 2 years ago # -
I weighed my Giant Xtc at the w/end to 22lbs. Loads of places to lose more weight quite easily, like changing the LX tripple crankset !

And what is your bike Fizzer?
No one done road bikes yet?! Chap at work had a 12.5lb 62cm Spesh Roubaix, he couldn't ride it, but it looked good on the scales, stupid!
Posted 2 years ago # -
My new XC Carbon weighs in at over 24 lbs. Excuse me for thinking that some folk need new scales.
Posted 2 years ago # -
My XL Ti456 is 24lb, my Blur 28lb......
I saved 8lb in 3 weeks by cutting out the toast and butter. How much would that cost me in racy carbon bike bling hmmm?
Posted 2 years ago # -
I'm happy to have anyone weigh my bike, and I weighed Dougals, so arguably it's a comparative weight! But having weighed literally hundreds of bikes I'm confident they're accurate.
Having seen your Blur XCc I can point out where mine's lighter though Druid, if you're bothered!

I thought people gave up trying to make their bikes light at the turn of the century. Do you lot have anodised purple bottle cage bolts too?

Agreed. My Scott genius 20 weighs about 28 lbs.
But having weighed literally hundreds of bikes I'm confident they're accurate.
Not unless those bikes were standardized weights then they're not.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Good point, but what I meant was I've weighed a lot of bikes where people say 'this is 22lbs, I've already weighed it' and its actually 25! Maybe they just overweigh things and my Epic is actually 18lbs... Doubtful.
I've never weighed a bike under a claimed weight either!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Njee, I would suggest that means that your scales underweigh slightly less than other people's do.
Accurate scales = thousands of pounds.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Well I've just calculated that there is only 4 pounds of me pushing along each pound of my bike. I think it's time to look for a something a bit lighter for longer rides.

here's the lightweight
and the heavy hitter
