Weight results from Philly's "Lighten Up" weekend?
I know a few people who went out to Trophy Bikes on Walnut to have their bikes weighed and I saw loads of you at their other shop for the RELoad Race (which was sweet btw). So what were your results? Anyone surprised with what they got? Any absolute tanks out there? I think I saw a tandem that was 50lbs or so. I weighed mine Friday on Walnut for fun and got 15.64lbs. I weighed it again for points for the RELoad race on Liberties Walk and got 15.62.. I had swapped out the Deda 215 drop bars for the bullhorns that day.
Anyway. Just curious! http://upload.pbase.com/image/77286299/medium.jpg |
so you won lightest right? (i didnt stay for prizes). i was pretty happy with 22.1x lbs for my raleigh conversion.

I was happy with my 19lbs for the panasonic.
|
22.81 for my Stella conversion. That includes front and back blinkies, frame pump, compass/bell and all the things an engineer would put on his bike (we're just nerdy).
|
I got 21.4 for an old steel conversion, I'm actually a little bummed, thought I would have come in under that, but I'm not exactly looking to have the lightest bike anyways.
|
I think I was 19.1 actually.

Still, sub-17lb. is impressive for a steel bike. |
