How much does your fixed gear weigh?
haha i dont know if this is even correct.. 20lbs it says for my bike? show me some bike + scale pictures~ because "pix or it didnt happen"
EDIT:
How to weigh DIY:
(bathroom scale)
-get on scale by youself (no bike)
-remember your net weight = A
-get on scale again with bike
-jot down weight of you + bike = C
weight of bike(B): B = C-A
-post.

15 lbs. is not that light. I have seen road bikes weigh in at LESS than 15 lbs (CF crank/saddle/frame/bars/etc) My fg weighs about the same as my road bike ~19 lbs. I bet you could get a pista concept down to 15 lbs no problem.

26 pounds.
64cm 1988 Trek 400, full fenders, rear rack, B-17 saddle... Much like my brevet bike and my utility bike, my ss/fg rig is a tank, too.

On the bathroom scale:
Me = 172lbs
Me + my Pista = 189lbs
But that doesn't seem right at all.

I thought it would be closer to 19 or 20. It's a bathroom scale so I'm not putting too much faith in it. I just figured I'd give it a go when I saw this thread.

i'm guessing my lynskey is about 17, and my trek conversion feels a bit heavier, but lighter than my roommate's clockwork, so maybe 19 or so?
