I've never weighed my fixie either. I get a kick of building stuff on the cheap, so saving weight hasn't ever been a huge issue for me. Durability is usually a bigger concern.
Ditto on it being a little chunkier than my braked & geared road bikes (even with the dust they have been collecting)

My Cyclocross (set up with road tires) that I consider my "roadie" fully equipped and wit a loaded seat bag weighs in at ~23.5lbs. My fixie when fully stripped weighs in at ~27lbs. I can only imagine what it weighed before I took all the crap off of it.

i've never weighed any of my bikes...
i'd say they all weigh about the same, except my BMX, which weighs in somewhere in the upper 30s.
the rest of my bikes are in the lower 20s/upper 10s. my "fancy" fixed gear weighs a little less than my pinarello though.

i ride on my jamis eureka 12" XC frame (its a single speed too!), i cant afford a real stock trials frame!! the upside of using an XC frame is the low weight, but i feel like im going to break it...

My bike weighs hella a lot. Seriously like at least twenty-five pounds. She is my steed of solid steel. Even God itself couldn't break the Tank.

I'm not exactly a weight weenie, but I'm small enough to feel what a few extra pounds can do.
