ok, so who's got the biggest spare tyres round their midrift and manboobs yet riding the weight weeniest of bikes?
don't be shy.. be proud and loud.
BMI vs bike weight (+model) please.
mine is 25.2 vs. 17lb (whyte 19)
19.8 vs 24.8lbs 🙁
Haven't got the cash for a lighter frame yet
As a percentage of my 260lbs, my 33lb bike is pretty light really.
300lbs and a bit.........28lbs on one rigid 29r.
BMI of 20 and in winter mode - 19.84 lbs - going SS next week so will be lighter still 😉
12st 9lbs, bmi is 25.4 I think, bike is about 31lbs i think, can somebody plot us all on a graph 🙂
BMI 30.4 according to scales Commencal Meta 5.5.1 is about 30lb i think
BMI 24.1 bike weight 19.8lbs
BMI of 24.6 - 25.5lbs of Ti HT bike.
One thing that I would say, is that most people I know have such shi££y scales this makes both the BMI and bike weight a little suspect! Weight being 12:8 and 5:10:5 tall.
I'm the other way around, BMI 22.5 bike weight 28lbs, but was 22lbs when XC-racing.
BMI 18.5 Bike 19.4Lbs.
Nicely balanced I think. Would like to loose another pound off the bike really, me and it together are over 11 stone!
Is there a reverse prize for lankiest streak of uselessness with the heaviest bike? BMI of 18.5 with bikes being 30,37,43lbs respectively...
haha kenneththecurtain, I just calculated my bmi as 18.3... oh wait.... im underweight. It must be normal, Im still growing...
Edit: Bike is around 22lbs, probably less.
WTF a BMI of 18.3???
27.1 vs 29lbs
Smack in the middle of "overweight", as is often discussed the BMI does not account for muscle (which is 20% denser than fat).
BMI 22.55 vs bike 22.5lbs an almost perfect match![b]

Bet you're big boned as well, lardo 🙂

Mate you'd never guess I was overweight if you saw me, honest!
Having said that, I mentioned to a bike shop sales dude that I liked the look of the Intense Spider 2. He looked at me, considered his thoughts/words and then suggested the Tracer!
25.7 bmi vs 30lbs of bike.
But bmi is a very poor measure of fitness or health really
Some here are incredibly light!
I am 12:8 now and wish to be 12:00 in the summer. 7 years ago I was 11:7.
I've been 10:7 twice as an adult and people thought I was gaunt. You could even see all the striations in my back muscles, in particular.
Any lighter than a BMI of 20.5 and I'd look ill and under fed!
Oddly, I'd have to drop to a weight of 9:6 or less to be classified as underweight.
J'sus, I'd be a bag of bones were I to be a full 15lbs less than my lowest weight as an adult, that'd be a full 45 lbs less than I am now.
