What is the effective weight of your bike? :D

You know how people say that it's more efficient for the rider to lose weight than it is to lighten up the bike? Well here in C&A, we put that into practice (right?)



My bike is down to 10 pounds. Not bad for a 1983 Raleigh Super Course.

It still weighs 30 lb., but the net system weight, with rider, is down 20 lb. because I've been losing weight



For those of you who've lost weight and are still riding the same bike, what is the effective weight of your bike (the bike weight minus how much weight you've lost)? I bet we've got a few "lighter than air" bikes out there!
