my single speed weight seems off?
ive recently weighed my bike and compared to the postings on here and other sites, the numbers (comparatively) dont seem to add up. heres my build...
56cm khs reynolds 853 frame
battaglin steel fork (supposedly about 1 pound)
dura ace BB, crankset, hubs
dt swiss rr rims
campy mirage brake calipers
ringle moby seatpost
selle italia c2 saddle
nitto bullhorn bars
sakae aluminum stem
stronglight a 9 headset
mks sylvan pedals
tektro cross levers
18.1 pounds
now heres the question. on various sites ive seen bikes with the same or similar claimed weight with obviously heavier frames and parts (ie phil wood hubs and bb, deep v, chromoly frames, vintage and steel components, etc). so are people using bathroom scales to measure their bikes or am i just mistaken about how much lighter these components are?
