Thank you. That is what I was trying for.

Great looking bike and light,and I always thought bike weights were with out pedals.I love a good climber,good job

I agree. Weighing your bike should be how you ride it. You can't ride w/o pedals, and you can't ride far without bottle cages, unless you have a camelbak, and in that case, you are a moron. Camelbaks are only for pot smoking mountain bikers. In any event, my Speedplay Zeros with Ti spindles, and a pair of New Ultimate cages is about .42lbs, or 190g including bottle cage bolts. So with my cages, and pedals you are at just over 14lbs. Not too shabby.

so camelbaks are for people who enjoy awesome things?

maybe i need to pick one up...of course, some mountain bikers have full carbon bikes with very light weight components.

I have one hanging from a hook in my basement. Most of them even come with pockets that you can use to stuff your doobies, and or pipe, and herbs in. I just put some big 42cm tires on my SS CX bike. I plan to try it on some trails soon, while wearing my Camelbak. It's the closest thing I have to a mountain bike currently.

i think vaporizers would fit well too. of course, the anything you can roll can easily fit in a jersey pocket or saddle bag.

of course, you could always go the michael phelps route and enjoy water when you're not swimming with gold medals.

what tires btw?

Tires were nothing special. Some IRC things one of the guys at the LBS gave me. They came on some 29er mountain bike he had. They make that bike a lot of fun though. They also inspired me to try a 25mm Evo CX on my rear 404. I just got done gluing that on actually.

this makes me want a mountain bike even more...but alas upgrades to the road bike are taking priority.

pics of mtb?

It's still not a mtb technically. To keep this on track. It was 17.8lbs with the old tires, and a heavier saddle. With pedals of course. Rolling a 34-14 gear.

What is the standard way to weigh a bike?
 

Thanks for the comments. As I said earlier, I respect the different positions on this question of how to properly weigh a bike. In fact I agree that the only weight that matters to a rider is the weight of the bike under him/her as it is being ridden. Having said that I am also aware that we like to consider from time to time whether this or that bike that we see in a mag,on the forum, or while we are riding would be a good choice for ourselves. There is no possible way that the mag review, or forum article or rider next to you in the paceline can tell you the weight of the bike AS YOU WOULD RIDE IT. The best way to know this is to know the standard weight of the bike (i.e. the way that I listed the weight of my bike) and add to that the weight of your personal "kit", the stuff that makes the display-room bike into your bike. For me that would be all the bike computer parts, the bottle cages and the pedals. And for me that is 0.75 lb. So when I see a bike review with a weight listed, I just add 0.75 lb to the number and I know immediately what it would weigh if I were riding it. Looking at this from the other side, what is the point of me telling you how much the bike weighs when I ride it? Aren't you really interested in what it would weigh if you were riding it? That is why I stand by the approach of listing the stripped-down weight, not the complete weight. Everybody's complete weight contains different things. It is up to you to add those into the total weight.

Dear God that is one ugly garage door.

that looks pretty good for the inside of a garage door. :lol:
