View Full Version : How much does your Cross-bike weigh?
I'm not a weight weenie, but I'm contemplating the purchase of a Bianchi Axis. Is it light enough that I can use it for club-rides as well as cross-training? (there would be a second wheelset)? My roadbike is about 18 lbs, but my commuter is closer to 30. Where in the spectrum of weight do cross-bikes fall?

Mine's 19 lbs, but as velocipedios, only when showing up for start.
About 25 lbs after the race/workout. Unbelievable how much dirt you
can shower off, even when it looks rather clean.

Kona Jake the snake 2005.
22lbs after changing seatpost and saddle.
The weight isn't all...
58cm Steel Bianchi: ~22.5 lbs
carbon fork, top mount levers, TIME pedals, beefy Raceface crank, STI shifters, Mavic Reflex rims and Tufo tires.
Axis should be lighter

I was at Sea Otter last Saturday and stopped by the Serotta booth. They had a 'cross bike based on the Ottrott frame that was made specially for Ben Jacques-Maynes of the Sierra Nevada team. They had it hanging on a bike scale. With pedals it weighed 18.03 lbs. So if you have about $10-11K to spend....

My girlfriend's Axis (49cm) weights 21 lbs with an XT triple drivetrain and stock wheels/tires (700x32). Putting road tubes/tires on it would drop it down to about 20 lbs.

Redline Team CX. 19.5 lbs with cross tires and 1750gr wheelset. With lighter wheels and tires it'd probably lose a pound or more.
