I always love the “Just Under” guestimates “its Just a sliver under 24.9lbs”… is it bollocks! its 28lbs and you know it.

My 456 was 32lbs last time I weighed it but it has since acquired a heavier fork, front wheel and gone from 2×9 to 1×10 drive and I cleaned some mud off it… I reckon its probably gained a pound and a half…

Don’t know or care what my other bikes weigh, they are mostly heavier than other peoples I like to think that makes me much more manly (While giving a perfect excuse for being a bit slow on climbs)…

9kg flat on the shop scales.
Seems about right – WC ones are 8.8kg with lighter wheels but heavier tyres.

21.42 lb with lightest wheels according to scales at work. Just right…lovely ride.

My 96 was 22lbs with 2×10, so that seems about right!

Bought some £1.79 luggage scales from ebay.
Weighed the Kona Explosif 650b yesterday… 29.12 lbs 😯

Liking the Kona 🙂 Great to see them making nice bikes again.
