I hate vague questions like this. Racing, street/park/dirt, or flatland? Complete or frame? Length requirement?

sorry street complete, and what would be the lightest frame. and no length requirement.

After that comment about "16lb street completes", you'd be more likely to get help from God* than me.

Ugh, I hate server problems. All those hundreds of roadies that sit around on the forums all day instead of working should have to pay extra because they use too much bandwidth from talking about who uses the most steroids and who has the lightest bike.

Lemmy lives off Sunset, down the street from Ozzy. I guess it's kind of a crappy apartment. He says even though he's been rocking since the Vicars, he doesn't get chicks. Something about his looks...

I beleive they only make race bikes though, and i also think i saw one for sale a Wallmart the other day, or it was Target, but i think they have a deal with a department store selling lower end bikes, if i remember right, they were pretty good a few years ago, before they dissapeared, and now showed up in Targt.

taj said that it flexed too much and it was front heavy even though he had the lightest parts u could get
A titanium BMX with cro-mo fork, bars, and a heavy stem would certainly be front heavy. On our tandem, you'd never notice.

Thank you google:

Ill help you out. Call all the mail orders you can find and ask them to send you a cataloge. Once they arrive, look at the description for every complete and compare the weight.

Or you could just grow some balls and get used to the extra pound or two. It amazes me that kids complain about their 35lb bike being heavy, when just five or six years ago, that would have been considered light (almost too light) for a freestyle bike.

This is true, i mean i like light stuff, but i wont go out of my way to get it.
Especially when price is involved.
My bike is probly 29lbs or 28lbs and it will be a bit lighter once i get my new frame.
too many people are obsessed with weight.they think if they get the lightest possible bike it`ll make learning the tricks so much easier,not true!Whatever bike you ride you`ll still progress skillwise.ultra light also means easier to break,not a good idea if you`re just a beginner.better to aquire a decent level of skill on something sturdy first.
