Anybody know of a site that has bicycle weights?Trying to see how much a zurich weights.Under 20 i would guess.
My zurich weighs 20lbs. with speedplay pedals and a cyclecomputer.

What size?LBS has them on sale for $1600 and it told me not to pass it up.If they throw in a wireless flight deck,it could seal the deal.

Shok, they are light.. 20, or slightly under... my Maillot jaune I just finished building up claims to be 17 lbs according to my scale.. but i'm not sure if that is right or not.. but it is definitely under 20... go for the Zurich... it is a great bike !
Maybe you and I can get a ride in, and show off our new Lemonds !
