How light is your road bike?

Crushing super light carbon bikes on an aluminium is hilarious!

Not really.  You need to do it on a fat bike, or a full suspension mountain bike or something like that.

I ‘crush’ all sorts of bike uphill on my cheap aluminium fixed gear bike but don’t find it particularly hilarious.

Mates just got his hi-mod to 4.9kgs (10.8lbs)

My S-Works Venge 54cm in the bike shop, supposedly 7.1kg 15.63lbs. Not bad for an aero bike with 64mm rims

Mine weighs (bathroom scales, not calibrated ;-) ) a shade under 13kg, ready to go

Carbon frame (“de Chine”), 55mm wheels (de Chine aussi) & 32mm tyres, di2, 2 spare tubes, CO2x2 and pump (and hand pump just in case), lots of tools in a false bottle and a full water bottle, computer, F&R lights and POW-meter pedals all fitted

Riding a great Parlee Altum Disc. Ultegra Di2, Zipp 202’s and Garmin Vector pedals. Currently weights in at 7.3kg or 16.1lb – not too bad for disc brakes.

7.6 for caad10.  it’s a weird mix of weenieism and cheap stuff (unfinished build really).

Best bike is a Bianchi Specialissima, 6.4 kgs.  It climbs and descends rather well.

I weighed the Ribble. Headset but no fork, no B.B…1.42kg.

😏 I assume you don’t have a 500g headset?

It’s one of those Hope lead edition ones…

Pretty heavy by modern standards but not ridiculously so.

Reynolds 853, traditional wheels with Royce hubs, brooks B17 etc. But it just rides so nicely and taking into account the 16st blob trying to push it along the weight of the bike is a mere fraction.

I’ll get round to weighing it some time.

Under 7kg looking very unlikely now I’d say.

In other news I went out on the single speed this afternoon – all 12kg of it! On-One Pompetamine frame and Gipiemme wheelset ain’t light.
