You sure? I though people obsessed with bike weight were so anally retentive that they couldn't poo.

I'd go careful with that offer. Remember, we are on the Internet here and there will be 1000s of 'specialists' who will now be wanting you to get your camera phone out.

My frame and forks are probably 800g overweight. But swapping them out, on what is, a pretty fecking light build (kevlar cable, alu cassette etc.), would only get me to 6Kg.

Not very exciting, but it is light and capable of enduring my 80 kg. Still a joy to ride...

Cross bike*, which I've been using for all my riding since the weather turned, is 10.6kg
Fixed, which I use for commuting, is 8.4kgRoad bike, including PowerControl V, was 6.85kg before the latest round of upgrades.
I may know where we are with that tomorrow, if I can be bothered to change it from it's current incarnation as turbo mule.
I reckon I've dropped ~200g off that, but we'll see.

Hippy is, in fact, a massive blouse- the leader in this field is Smallfurry, who carries 2 litres of Pentane with him for on bike refreshment.

My Audax bike will weigh aroudn 9kg when finished. Even less if I swap out seat post for carbon and move my triple to a double. Not really something I want to do on that bike.
As velocio said don't get too hung up about weight unless your racing.

Stays liquid at minus 10, and refreshes the parts, other solvents cant reach.
I have used my cages to transport styrene samples at work. Doesnt say anything against it in our employee handbook.

Very public spirited of you.
I weighed my bike- 6.65kg.
If I changed the stem that everyone else hates that'd drop it to 6.6kg.
Now- how much heavier than Force shifters+mechs would Di2 shifters/mechs/battery be?
