Of course as we all remember from highschool physics, scale-weight and mass are related but not necessarily equal. The helium just made the bike more bouyant but it still had the same (or very nearly the same) mass as if the tubes had normal air in them.
yes, but because of the upward force the helium exerts it weighs less..
if only they would try that on a carbon/Ti frame... I believe frames like that weighs only 1kg-1.2kg(without the helium)
