Like to know what the weight of your built up steel hardtail is?
Interested to see the average.

Nice bike, but you really need to get out more!
😉
21.80 lbs
21.80 lbs
Crikey - what frame/kit?
Nice bike, but you really need to get out more!
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.
Cotic Simple 🙂
Pace RC31 forks
WI cranks
SLR saddle

Bontrager xxx post
DT/Mavic front wheel.
My bike weighs...erm. Its heavy.
Dialled Alpine.
I think 27lb for a Charge Duster. Mostly XC kit (Rebas, old XTR cranks, new XTR hubs) but with some bigger rims and tyres (819s with a 2.2 Rubber Queen and 2.25 ADvantage)
Cove Handjob in Medium with Rev 426's Mavic Crossrides, Raceface Evolve/Deus cranks & finishing kit, LX drive train
26-27lbs, nice
Around 27lb....Inbred 853 (Revs, XT, 719s on XT wheels, Thomson/RF finishing kit)
About 25lbs with pedals.
Inbred 853 with American Classic Wheels, Magura Menjas, XTR cranks, X9 gears, KCNC stem, look pedals, Kone carbon I-beam seat post + saddle and those on-one wood grip thingies.
My 456 (built with bits that work and won't break) weighs about 30lbs.
15" Orange P7 around 27lbs
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 🙂
SSP
I think the Bontrager is around 25lbs, depends on tyres, i can get it down to 24.5lb with faster tyres.
My 456 was around 31.5lbs last time I weighed it, but it's got lighter wheels on now.
No idea, about the same as a 4-5" full susser. 456, built for durability.
My large Cotic Soul with Fox Talas forks, Thomson and Easton Ea70 bits, On-one wheels and a mix of LX and XT elsewhere weighs about 27.5 lbs.
Dialled PA - medium
Magura Menja 130 forks
Mavic 721s on ProII hubs
SLX cranks
28lbs on bathroom scales
456 summer season, proper tough built up for my extra lard as well as riding style.
32lbs
20" Summer Season frame, Mavic 729 rims, Neveral 2.35's Ghetto'd
chris king rear hub, superstar fromt hub, coil pikes, thompson post Bel air Ti saddle Deore brakes, XTR rear mech, XT front mech, Stylo chainset and external BB with large cog replaced with a bash ring, Welgo Mag pedals.
Weighty for a hard tail. Hopefully someone will prove my scales are out in which care I don't need to diet!
30lbs for a hard tail!!!
My Nomad only weighs 3lbs more!!!
22.2 lbs.Strangely both the 29er (Kona Unit) and the 20"(standard 250l).But the standard frame is a pound lighter than the kona.But then the standard has a lifetime GUARANTEE!!!Go figure.
Light enough to get up hill and heavy enough to get down again. I will weigh it properly tommorrow when it is clean.
30lbs for a hard tail!!!My Nomad only weighs 3lbs more!!
Yes but your frame will disintegrate and your wheels will fall off if you lay it down the wrong way 😀
(Depending on tyre choice)
24.33lbs (11.06kg) on the digital shop scales
Inbred, Marzocchi Marathon Race 80mm, XC717/Hope Mono/DT Revolution wheels, SRAM Attack/LX/XT gears, Stylo chainset, V-brakes, SLR XC saddle etc....
About 30lb 456, pike airs, crossmax xls, e 13 drs, xt cranks, deore brakes and rear mech, ea50 bars and post, vice stem.
My 16in 456 with Nixons and dt5.1's is 28.8lbs
My 19in 5Spot with Pikes and stans flow's is 29.6lbs
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.
why when I view this thread is the page set-up different?
I dunno, same for me. First post normal, all the others are smaller font.
Just under 22lb as it is, but granted its not got sus forks 8)

does anybody on this thread know where i can get some accurate scales?
thought not. 🙂
45 pounds
vortex, possibily as it was posted from an iPhone.
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.
Cove H/J - Average build (XT, Hope, Fox Vanilla forks)
27 lbs(ish)
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.
456 Summer - currently 32lbs.
Scott Octane (wife's) - 29lbs (full sus).
Unknown make steel hardtail - 16lbs (missing drivetrain and brakes).
Appollo hybrid - 26lbs.
mine is about 25lbs.
Handjob 15.5" 26lb all in.
Pipedream Sirius at a smidge under 27lbs.
I haven't weighed a bike since I gave up racing in my teens. Anyhow on the bathroom scales mine comes out at 28.1lbs.
At first I thought bloody hell I could set up a full-susser that would weigh less, then I remembered that I'd have to maintain pivots and bushings and have another springy bit to tune and maintain as well. It might not be the lightest but at least there's less to go wrong.
Anyhow after looking at the spec of rs's Alpine I realise that it could be heavier as mine is a similar spec and 2.5lbs lighter.
It's a NS Bikes Society frame, 2008 Manitou Minute IT with 20mm axle, mainly X9 spec with a Stylo chainset and XT discs and not a bit of carbon anywhere.
ive a 456 and a five spot and oddly they both weigh in at 27.8 pounds.
I've not weighed it but my Deluxe is probably about 28lbs with XT, Hope hubs and brakes, 2.35" tyres, Vanilla fork.
