try a scale:
get on scale, figure out your weight
then pick up bike and subtract your weight from your weight with the bike, and you have your answer

is that the bike with dual suspension or hardtail? If it is a hardtail, around 30lbs and the dual suspension will weigh around 36lbs.

Does it really matter what it weighs? Weight weiners are on the road forum. Don't forget to weigh your clothes, helmet, bag, tools, pump, sunglasses, shoes, water bottle, etc. Do you carry any extra pounds on your body? Don't forget the Wendys double you had for lunch....

What good would that do? That is pretty much a random comparison.

IMO weight doesn't matter if the bike feels right to you. I know when I'm on a bike that weighs too much, it feels clunky, tank-like.

FWIW I ride an Iron Horse Warrior Comp 2006 and have no idea what it weighs. All I know is it feels just right for me.
