How much do you weigh?

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The curve is going to be pretty much meaningless:

145 as of this morning. The granularity in your poll is pretty wide. I suggest a redo.

i'm thinking you should make more groups... roadies are kinda freaks about their weight.. 130-180 is a huge range..

Is this poll in kilograms, stones, or pounds? You've got to specify units!


Assuming kilograms ... I'm "under 90".

180-250 is a wide spread also. How about breaking this up in a few groups? I am 220 lbs and my ideal weight would be 200-205.

167

I've been as low as 160, but lost a significant amount of power, so I keep my weight between 165-175. I'm tall with very large legs (after a lifetime of this crap).

(edit) Don't know my body fat, but I've got abs I'll show off in a moments notice.

5'11 165 right now. Depending on if I'm running mostly or rock climbing I can drop to as low as 155, even 150 for awhile if my lower body doesn't have as much muscle i.e. rock climbing).

What good would this thread do even with all that info? It's just an informal poll on bikeforums. Sheesh.

I'm around 150 and 6'3
