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?

My Fuji Cross Pro weighs in at 22lbs. Thats stock with Egg Beaters thrown on.

[velocipedio]

my major jake is about 19.5 lbs with pedals. but only when clean.

Never weighed mine, but I suspect 22 lb or so.

[Lectron]

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.

[Iffacus]

My Dolan's about 19lbs, when clean. Anything up to 30+lbs when racing

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.
