Bike Weights

Hippy started a good thread about frame weights, so if you're after building up a light bike - its a good place to start.

This thread is about pre-assembled bikes on retail. I'll add prices later (okay, eventually), so that a price-weight correlation can be made.

Keep in mind, that most weights are given without pedals.

One manufacturer gave the weight of their smallest size (47cm), whereas most give the weight of a 54cm-56cm bike.

Also, I think some manufacturers may have cheated, by weighing bikes without brakes, which they would be sold with, if for the street.

fantastic list GA2G.

can only help on one,

charge plug 2008 - approx 72 stone

Must admitt i was a bit shocked that bikes with no pedals, gear levers, cassettes, gear mechs, etc. etc. can weigh in at over 10Kg.

FYI my BJ weighs 7.1Kg according to the betterware luggage scales my mum gave me. That cant be right though, probably closer to 8Kg.

Ah, the perfect urban commuter.

Actually the most correct weights would be without brakes and pedals... Since most of those you posted are trackbikes..

Can you buy a OTP BMW Gangsta?
If so this'll be very good news for someone.

The top 6 are track bikes, but the other 34 bikes that follow aren't all track though.

Cheers Rosmal, I'll make corrections as I go along.

are you sure the Bianchi Pista weight is correct? it's closer to 21kg than 18.5.

Ed, I've added where I got the weights from, in the link below the name of each bike.

Some of them are quite dubious looking........

wow you are the man ga2g
amazing lists everytime
do you work ? or just do research every second of every day !

I am homeless and unemployed. I simply make babies and use the internets. I have no friends, and you are my first nemesis.

I use the internets to groom women to make babies. BRM is my son.

ed - hoping you got your kgs & lbs mixed up!

also, I assume there will be some variation for different size frames. but good list as usual ga2g

Slight problem here, Ashe...

Slight problem here, Ashe...

Whats the problem? You know that everyone can see the resemblance.

Ashe, I have african sunset hair, you have none...

So, let me get this straight......

Now I'm fat, bald, and black?

are you sure the Bianchi Pista weight is correct? it's closer to 21kg than 18.5.

MIght be because 9.6kg does not equal 18.5 lbs! The actual weight is probably th ekg weight listed of 9.6 which would give you your 21lbs.

ed and kerley, you were both correct. I have changed the Bianchi Steel weight to 21.16 lbs

Cheers me dears.

Manufacturer's claimed weights are usually nothing like the actual weight, frame weights particularly so.

Even leaving aside the with/without pedal discussion - a bike listed by a manufacturer at 21lbs will often be nearer 25lbs.

This is one of the reasons why most weight weenie websites list both claimed and actual weights.

Even stuff with printed claims (Selle SLR saddles, KCNC posts etc) may proudly have 135g printed on the actual piece, but stick it on a scale and you will find it is 150g. If you have not seen it register 100g on your digital scales, it is not 100g.

There are a few exceptions, Thomson, Shimano, Syntace and a few other companies, if Shimano claim their Dura-Ace crank set is 592g - it will be 592g and not a gram either way.

I could go on . . . . .

[takes a pill to make him stop thinking about things like this]

Hahahahaha.. we've triggered "tynan's tic".. he'll be chanting frame weights to himself in no time.

but which is more relevant, actual weight or claimed weight?

Hahahahaha.. we've triggered "tynan's tic".. he'll be chanting frame weights to himself in no time.

Sh . .ut up . . .453g. . . .2.1lb . . . shit up . . . langster no . .can be ligh - er than . . 14lb argon . . .no ways / / / nurse / . . . nurse

but which is more relevant, actual weight or claimed weight?

The claimed weight is usually less than the actual weight, the actual weight is - as it's name suggests - what it actually weighs.

If I put on the old mockney, I could get away with saying; "Dis fred is weighing on my mind"...

I'll get my coat. :( ..........Anybody see my handbag?

On a more serious note though - if I were to take weights from German retail websites, would that make a difference?

I believe I remember that German industries (or goods for sale in Germany) have to give accurate measurements of advertised products/goods, by law?

Any Germans in da house? Sorry though, I'm not very multilingual.
