another bike weight thread
 

or maybe the first? Last night I was bored so I inventoried all my bikes weights.
Oldest is a '76 fuji track w/ suntour superbe pro, shimano dura ace, and nitto parts. The clamp-on front brake and bell add a few extra ounces I'm sure.
20 lbs.

Norskagent, you know I lust after your Fuji but I love that photograph of the Raleigh. That is stunning.

Thanks - that pic was one of those that just happened. I was riding on the beach road (NC 12) at kitty hawk (outer banks, nc), and noticed the cool color of that beach rental cottage. It was empty, so I propped the bike up, snapped the pic, and rode off. I wish the frame was a tad larger, if I were racing in a velodrome it would be fine, but for street cruising my position on it is too low and aggressive for longer rides. And I'm not putting risers on it!

I admit, I've always been a weenie...:D

1985 Vitus Plus Carbone 7 - 17.25 pounds

Speaking of weights, I just aquired my personal French Holy Grail of weight weenie components. A set of CLB Compact Professional brake calipers, courtesy of Mike Fraysee. Dang!, each cliper weighs even less than my what I thought, to be so weenie Mavic 851 RD! No idea what bike I'll put it on eventually, but it's the end of a long quest to find and get these calipers since they first caught my attention back in the early 80's!
I could put them on my Vitrus Carbone 7 and further drive it's present weight down even more........Hmmmm...:rolleyes:
