I'm no scientist, but I believe you need a scale to determine weights.

And maybe a calculator to calculate them.

Making a kilometer blurry
Now I'm confused. How many tires are there?
I'll never be good at this.

Someone should make a spreadsheet with drop down selections so we can play around with different component weights (and $$$) and configurations. Not it.

I have one, but it will only help you calculate the weight of my bike.
I'm already here. The weather is really nice.

If anyone has a decently current database of component weights, I'll put the spreadsheet together.

WOW! Why does no one get this? Instead of building one and taking the time to list every freakin piece on my bike... I though if anyone had a nice one already made I would just download it. This practice is not uncommon. I know how to do it... that is not the issue here. And why is it that on this forum if someone enjoys building up bike piece by piece and taking an interest in its aesthetic attributes he must not ride it? I guess I’m the only gearhead that rides the machines he builds up.

Good luck with that. With each component, there are at least 3 weights. a) what the manufacturer claims it weighs, b) what yours weighs, and c) what mine weighs. Weight weenies is probably the closest you will get to a database of weights. An alternative is to go to Competitive Cyclist and build a bike with their online tool. It lets you pick components and shows you the weights.

2. Add up
Why are you trying to make it so complicated?

Yeah, I was thinking claimed weight. Won't be perfect.

Claimed weights are the least reliable of the three options umd provided.

I'm serious, go to CompetitiveCyclist.com and play with their build configuration tool.
Edit: I configured a 5300g (11.7 lbs) R3-SL for only $13,000
Editx2: Of course that's claimed weight, and more importantly, pretend money
