My Bridgestone MB-1 with racks, Wahl baskets, fenders, and Kryptonite New York must be at least 40 pounds.

40 lbs in full fred for the dyno powered- IGH-racks-fender torker grad.

I'm staggered, too! I've known it's overweight for a long time, but I just had to weigh it on Sunday. It included a mostly-full bottle of water. I don't remember what it weighed when it was naked. It might be 27 or 28 pounds. Maybe one day, I'll add each thing up. I'm weighing my 1974 Raleigh International bit by bit as I build it up. It will be a fixed-gear bike with no fenders or rack, as I'd like to have one lightweight bike for commuting and bopping around.

the sci guy 

no idea for real, but i will estimate it around 30+ pounds, without loaded panniers. pushing 35 with clothes and workstuff i bet.

devianb

28lbs. It used to weigh 35lbs when I had a suspension fork and heavy knobby tires.

RubeRad

That's yer problem right there...

That's what I did too, on a medical scale in the gym at work. I also did it 'naked' (the bike, not me), and typical commuting setup (add rack, panniers, lights etc). My CrossCheck was 27lb naked, and 35lb loaded.

Biking at it's best.

Yeah that's what I did last night. My digital bathroom scale is good to 0.2 lbs.

You're going to say, "why didn't I think of that". You stand on a scale and weigh yourself, then you pick up the bike and weigh the both of you and subtract the difference

daihard 

I'm actually going to say, "Please read the previous replies." Just kidding... you're right, that was a classic example of Columbus's egg for me. "Why the heck didn't I think of that!"

Mine is about 29 pounds with no water bottle and the rear rack. I average about 12.5 mph in my commuting, carrying a backpack. I took a tour last month with rear panniers and for that, the bike weighed in at 60 pounds, and guess what my average was for the three days? 12.5mph! It shows that the weight of the bike does not directly translate to your speed riding it. Also, unfortunately, it would indicate that if I got a 15 pound carbon roadie, I would probably still average 12.5.

Looks like about 26 lbs for the new Schwinn Slicker with only a saddle bag with tire changing stuff. A couple pounds more than I expected...but I was more dismayed at my weight using the bathroom scale method!

The Chemist

39 pounds fully dressed - that's including my lock, tools, spare tube, pump, and rain coat which are all carried in a lockable plastic trunk box on my rack. I'd say it's probably a good 10 pounds lighter stripped down.

Medic Zero

16 tons?

I wish I knew. I tried to weigh it at a bike shop while it was loaded down for some light touring and it went over their scales max of 60 pounds. I'd be surprised if my rig weighed less than 40 pounds in its daily configuration.

joyota

Seems like a metric ton some days. Other days (like this morning) 12 ounces!

Officially though, dressed as pictured about 37lbs.

jrickards

My KHS Tempe (29er) with rear rack, lights, full water bottle, panniers loaded with an average amount of commuting "stuff" (clothes, rain gear, lunch, tools, tube and small pump) weighs just shy of 50lbs. I must admit, I was a bit surprised.

jrickards

Subtract the weight of the bike, you should be happier now!

ItsJustMe

My original bike was about 43 pounds. I have a road bike that I bought this year and kept it pretty light. I just got a new upright, and it started out relatively good but I put fenders, rack, lighting, tool kit and a kickstand on it, and as soon as they arrive bottle cages and computer, and I imagine it'll be at least up in the high 30s by the time I'm done. The tail is definitely heavy when I go to pick it up. I'll poke in the numbers here when I finish outfitting it.

noglider 

Now I don't feel as bad about mine. It doesn't feel heavy when I ride it, which is more important. My English 3-speed feels heavy even when there's nothing on it.

Thanks, folks!

ItsJustMe

Yeah, my bike only feels heavy for the first mile or two after I've been on the road bike for a week.

I've been riding the road bike all summer, and I just started riding the new upright, just the 3rd day on it today. Honestly, I find it refreshing. I'm enjoying the ride more than when I was going faster on a light bike. I don't really care how fast I'm going when I'm enjoying myself. I'm also finding that I'm enjoying the quiet, smooth shifting of the IGH and the quiet smooth braking of the hydraulic discs. With rim brakes every time I hit them I can just sense the rims being ground down to powder.

pdlamb

I'm glad to see all the over-30 (pound) crowd. I don't feel so bad about my 32 pound (with racks and saddle bag but no water bottles or panniers) bike now.

It carries me and my gear just fine, thank you!

spivonious

Okay, I weighed mine last night. The bike had:
-spare tube
-tools
-frame pump
-gloves
-u lock
-empty panniers
-two taillights
-head light and external battery


It came in just under 40 pounds, so once I get a change of clothes, lunch, and a full water bottle on there, I'm probably around 45 pounds. That's a lot heavier than I thought it would be, but would explain why I struggle to pick the bike up when fully loaded. I bet the fenders and rack add 5-10 pounds by themselves.

If you rode naked, you could probably shave a pound or two off your loaded rig.

fietsbob

to be an accurate comparison I'd have to use your scale, especially, since I dont have one .
