How much does your fixie weight? Mine is 7,65 kg (that's kilograms, you Americans!)
Have not used any 'stupid light' parts, but still pretty good, methinks!

No idea. Light enough to lift it up the stairs, which is as light as it needs to be.

I weighted my Soma just out of curiosity last friday... mainly because there was a big electric scale handy

No Idea but I can lift it with one finger.

Pissed me off the other day, met this woman who used to work at a bike shop and was a mechanic. She built up some Giant frame with Dura Ace parts. The f'n' thing weighed less than my Pista. Grrrrrrr.

Never weighed my bike but this piqued my curiosity so now I have. It's 18lb. I suspected more, around 20 but it's nice to know that it's 18.

If you pronounced the title of this thread as it is spelled, some may think you are "light in the loafers".

Think mine was about 17lbs, but it now has a steel fork instead of alloy, no brakes and tri bars, so it could be more. Wasn't terribly accurate with the scales either. I'll weigh it again when it's all back one piece (and take some snaps too

The arrow points to "g." Clearly, you are not a drug dealer.

p.s. Yes, I know you were kidding.
