Upon a professional weigh-in at the LBS, a Miyata 6speed weighs 28lb. The bathroom-scale method was 2 lbs off.

The Le Champion was advertised at 15.2 lbs if memory serves (unknown size); mine weighed 15.6 lbs out of the box without pedals (56 cm). I haven't weighed it since the day it arrived, so I don't know what it is fully equipped.

Ah, finally get to see the 'dale with the new shoes! Looks nice. As requested no comment on the green bar tape.
(just kidding) Nice ride! I was going to try and make the Sunday ride tommorow but I have a bachelor party tonight. I have a feeling I'm not going to be up for riding in the morning....

My Rivendell Romulus is 27 lbs. My Surly Long Haul Trucker with Surly Nice Racks front and rear is about 34. When someone shows up at a club ride with an ultra-light bike that makes everyone else who lifts it feel that theirs is way too heavy, they've learned to ask if they could lift mine--just so they once again feel better about theirs.

My LeMond Poprad is almost 22 with the cross wheelset on it. Weighed it at a local shop that had a workstand with a scale built into it, pretty cool. I'm noticeably lighter with my road wheelset on.
The bike is stock except I got a lighter saddle, lost the bar-top brake levers, and replaced the handlebars with something lighter and narrower (the stock bars were 46).
