  1. Take off the water cage
  2. Skip lunch
  3. Stop using heavy air in the tires
  4. Recalibrate the scales
  5. Lie about it ("Yep, 14.99 pounds!")
  6. Ride it instead of weigh it
  7. Take off all bar tape and the little nuts on the tube stems
  8. Remove all oil
  9. Get those 180 gram tires that pop every few miles
  10. Move to the moon
  11. worry only about total ride/rider weight and work on that. Never weigh the bike alone, only do it with you on it.
