BTW.....check out the velocity aerohead rims (405 grams!) and very nice. I don't think I will ever buy Mavics again.

Meanwhile, the longer he takes, the better the components get. I'm up to Campy Record at the moment though no final decisions have been made other than the already purchased Rolf Prima Vigor wheelset and Look Keo pedals.
Thanks for asking.

Allow me to present the Colnago Uno unicycle. It's literally HALF the weight of a standard colnago.

nice photoshop job 
I'm actually looking at getting a Specialized Roubaix Elite Triple. I picked it up and it felt plenty light to me. I'd say it's easily under 20 lbs. Not sure of an exact weight though.

slvoid,
Actually, I will have to insist my little steel Barbie fits the category, as it is a bicycle....
Yours is a "Tricycle".
Therefore, you are disqualified.

My 1st line bike spec's at around 18 pounds. My winter beater is 25. My secret weapon is winter training and keeping my own weight down. You can't buy that.
