my scales must be wrong - surely you can't make a bike at that weight for that little money.
my scales must be wrong
That's what I would think, my Whyte 19 Ti SS with EC70 carbon bars and seatpost, CK hubs, XTR brakes and FSA K force light carbon cranks still comes in at around 21lbs according to the Park scales at my LBS.
Can I borrow your scales cos mine over read big time
to be fair you will have a light bike but not that light for example
Dibbs's Ti 19 s/s is 22 1/2lbs at the lbs
my simple is 23 1/2lbs on my baggage scales
You looking at KG?
oops sorry that was the carbon xt19 at 22 1/2lbs not Dibbs's Ti
Yes your scales are fubbared so to speak, unless you are looking at the kg measurement of it. I'd say it's more like approx 25lbs but is 'ard to tell.

Dibbs, - What's your whyte 19 Ti like.
Could you perhaps drop me an e-mail with a review if you so please.
That would be ace.
Thanks,
whyter
With carbon forks, maybe, with suss up front, nah...
Whatever weight it is, it flies up hills. Time to go making mincers eat dust round Inners again. 😀
Looking at this has made me have a vision, Whyte 19 Ti, Sram XX, revelations..... an expensive vision that will stay that way! not sure what wheels though..........
not on a metal frame anyway .....
had it been tupperwear you might have had a chance ....
*carbon bike owner before you all get on at me for the tupperwear comment*
I must weigh my new one tomorrow.
My Ti rigid with full XTR and CrossMax wheels is 20lb dead so yes, either your scales are broken or you're mis-reading them!
whyterthanwhite the Ti is very nice but I'm still not sure that I can feel the difference between it and my 2005 alloy 19 with an almost identical setup. I'm sure I know which one will look better in 5 years time though.

My geared Rocklobster SL is bang on 25lbs.
I think you have the same scales a lot of riders seem to have, wrong ones 😉
Think my 1x9 Rock Lobster Tig Team SL is about 24lbs... will check tomorrow once I've cleaned this evening's mud off! Really like the bike, but the RL frames are very short in the top tube... could do with a bit more stability at speed?
Did your 'other half' calibrate the scales?
Its always the problem in my house, my wife is 'slight' though, 6 stone according to our scales, I'm only 9 myself though 😉
