what the hell happened to this thread?! greyhounds?! damn you guys are so ADHD! lemme help get it back on track. i just picked up a 1978 Mercian at the veloswap in denver. mostly stock right now with a formula/weinman rear wheel. i also swapped out the seat and post with some generic but lighter post and a selle italia trans am saddle. it weights 20.5 pounds.
the paint is in pretty rough shape but it's pretty sweet to have my first road frame that actually fits!

My Steel Bianchi commuter conversion with pump, thermos, tools, fenders, and lights weighs less than my BMX.
I'm guessing thats around 25lbs.

~21 lbs. Feels lighter than my other fixie. I don't really care though, I started off on a 35 lb mountain bike from the early 90's, and this is fine by me.

Simple conversion, aluminum chainring, track cog, 27"x1-1/4 wheels 1-1/8" tires, A front brake, plastic saddle, bmx aluminum brake lever...
22lbs - bathroom scale
thats down from the 30+ lbs it weighed when It had shifters and brakes (and a kickstand!)

Surly crosscheck touring bike/car = 27 pounds with racks, lights, and fenders.
RedLine 925 = 20 something.
Ridley Supercross cyclocross racebike (with gears) = just a hair under 17 pounds.
