its not as if hes bragging
That's exactly what he's doing. Apparently (as in, according to him) trolling folk who put up expensive bikes that weigh 30+ Lbs.
I for one am interested in sticking a 160 fork on my trance after seeing this. Op, your head angle claim of 65 seems ambitious as it is 67 with a 140 fork.
66 degrees is what Giant quote with a 160mm fork, the SX frame for the 160mm fork is the same as the standard 140mm frame so no problems.
The 65 degree number was when I was mulling over a minus 1 degree slackset.
Ive been off a bike for a few years but I thought we stopped worrying about a bikes weight, I thought it was all about the head angle and making 130 bikes ride down like 160 bikes instead of 160 bike pedal like 130 bikes.
So having just renovated my trance I thought I'd weigh it and give this thread a bump..
Came it at 28.5 lbs with 160 mattocs, dropper, 1*11 xt and carbon wheels with snakeskin mary and nic
So in reality the ops 28lbs is actually heavier than expected given he has light finishing kit and no dropper!
As for my scales.. Well i took an average of about 5 measurements, and on the same set my ascr is 24lbs, carbon roadie with carbon wheels just over 16 and my cx about 23. So not as if they give particularly low readings..
I thought this was going the be the it snapped update
My small Trance with dropper and carbon hope wheels comes in at a with/without bathroom scales weight of 28.5lbs
Only read some of this thread but it's very amusing 😀
I was tidying the garage earlier so popped my Trance advanced 1 on the scales. Includes pedals but non-standard wheels/tyres. Size medium 26.5lb.

28lb for the OP's ally trance with all his carbon and no dropper is realistic in my view.
If we're doing pics here's my recently built '16 Trance Advanced. 29lbs with the bathroom scales which is a bit lighter than the Pitch it replaced. Not a light build, Mattocs, Brand X dropper, Hope Enduro wheels and SLX.

What's with the weights in pounds, like? Did you all vote for Brexit or something? Also, shouldn't you all be using ounces to state fractions of pounds rather than a decimal? 😆

Yes. 🙂
We're all old and never stopped using imperial measurements.
Ok, mine is 13.154kg approx not 29lbs 😆

Bikes in pounds, components in grams, wheelsize in inches, geometry in millimetres. What's the issue?

Agreed. That's just the way it is. No point arguing.
Plus rider weight, altitude & distance in metric. It's moar pro.
rider weight, altitude & distance [s]in metric[/s]
😯
Rider weight: stone and lbs, obviously
Altitude: metres
Distance: miles
Altitude: metresDistance: miles
Altitude: feet
Distance: km
Bigger numbers 😀
And tyre/shock/fork pressures in pounds per square inch.
Yes, I'm guilty of that one...
No-one does air pressures in metric 🙂
I tried to get myself doing air pressures in metric but psi works better at tyre like pressures. Nobody wants to use the third significant figure for their tyre pressures, do they?
