How much does yours weigh?
How much are they supposed to weigh?

Mine is around 25.5-26.0 lbs, which is odd since I read on the web that the stock weight is 21 lbs but that's actually probably for a smaller frame (mine is 61cm, CroMo).

There is no supposed to weigh. It all depends on component and frame selection. A butted chromoly frame is going to be lighter than one with straight gauge tubing. Often time, aluminum will be lighter than steel, and carbon lighter than both. The heaviest components on most bikes are the frame and wheelset. There is already a "what does your bike weigh" thread if you're interested in the weight of other people's bikes.

Oops, right on. Thought it would be a nice conversation starter. Didn't mean to start a useless/redundant thread.

And as far as "supposed to weigh" I just meant, if you had a 35 pound fixed gear is that alright? What's the lightest people achieve? What's the heaviest people put up with? In other words, is there an ideal range?
And yes I was just curious what everyone's bikes weigh. But I'll seek out that thread you mentioned.

my sw8 fixxie is ~17 lbs.

~20 lbs is ideal. These arent touring bikes so anything approaching 30lbs is heavy.

Good god, 17 pounds? I'm guessing there is lots of aluminum on that thar bike?

Yeah good point. I guess if someone took an old Schwinn and converted to FG but didn't replace or remove anything (wheels, bars, crankset) ... that would be one of the only ways to get 35 pounds

My Kagero weighed 16lbs, 12oz. It was light. I don't even want to weigh my 722, but I'd guess it's around 20lbs. I had a Draft Lite, which was like 27lbs and I hated riding it for various reasons, but the dead feeling ride and weight was the primary factor.

There were many, and still are, very nice very light Schwinn bikes rolling out there. Varisitys and others like them are boat anchors

12-50 lbs

Light Reynolds 853 frame is light. It's the TET in my signature. Some Thomson bits, wheels are "light".

Nice looking 2-wheeler man.
That's basically what I want my next bike to look like. Dig that raw frame, especially with blacked out components.

My 722ts that I built for track use was just under 20lbs :|

Such a fatty.

In before carleton's bib gets in a bunch.

His bibs have been real bunched lately.

carelton? he don't need to worry about fgfs interlopers when you got so many of these kinds of threads & their posters lately?

My capo <20lbs.
My Steamroller >or =20lbs

My bikes weigh pounds. Regarding how many of them, I don't really care that much.

enough to break the ice?


my 722 is under 20, my windsor the hour was over 20. I can feel the weight difference right away.

Sorry if I ruined your day mark, but that was kind of a rude comment. What kind of poster am I exactly?

I'm just over 19lbs

I'm pretty curious to know what my bike would handle like if it were 5 or 6 pounds lighter. Sitting at just under 26 right now. I never bought parts because of their weight. Was never concerned with weight. More concerned about reliability. But yeah, now I'm curious.

1940 double-butted chromoly 58cm frame with 60s vintage Campy Record crank, hubs, and seatpost, and alloy rims is just under 20 pounds. Replacing the wheels with wooden rims and 1940 hubs put it just over 20 pounds, but the earlier hubs and wooden rims look so much better.
