Funny this thread should appear now.
I needed a new mouse for my infernal computator here and as I strolled up to the check-out, they had
Samsonite luggage scales for $9.00 near the register.
I just came in from the garage after weighing 3 bikes that I have not put away for the winter.
1994 56cm Fuji Absolute townie, w/axiom fenders, suspension seat post, adjustable stem, townie handlebars, original steel crankset, axiom rear rack and multiple safety and headlights = 33.5 lbs.
1968 24" Columbia, all steel everything, basically as it left the LBS when purchased new = 34 lbs.
1996 24" Mongoose Sidewinder MTB w/Blackburn rack, Truvative triple crankset, Shimano Deore XT components, Sun rims and Tioga 26 x 1.5 slicks = 28 lbs.
I was really suprised that the Mongoose was the lightest.

My 1996 Mongoose is the lightest MTB I've had in stock trim. It was only 25 lbs stock, though. Parts a little less fancy than XT.

Last I checked, with the classic stand on scale and subtract the weight, mine was 21 + or - .5 pounds.

I have a few steel roadies in the 23's without trying too hard, and none of them are Colnagos or Cinellis. Fully geared, not SS/FG. Building up a Grand Record (75 model 531 frame) and it shocked me. Only missing tires/tubes, cables, and a few tiny parts, it was 21.01. WITH a carbon steel framed Brooks saddle too. I am going to be building another SS one day soon, which is the reason I've been hanging around lately.
Lightest bike I've sen in person, was a Cervelo geared roadie at 13.06. Just plain sick.....,,,,BD

24" frame. The Blackburn rack is probably a couple of pounds, and I've got a bmx slingshot double clamp stem that weighs more than a standard stem.

Just checked two bikes with the digital hanging scale. 2003 Zurich(triple CR)=22.2lbs, with front/rear LED lamps, computer, rear stay kickstand, and Axiom Road rack; and 1972 PX-10=23.5lbs, with front/rear LED lamps, computer rear stay kickstand, frame pump, and tubulars converted to clinchers (Mavic RimTech). Both bikes in 54cm seat tube length. Probably not superlight, but not heavy either.

My Madison is a hair over 20.
Libertas road bike is around 25.
I have a Klein Pulse Comp that, if memory serves, is 26.5.
My next bike should weight somewhere in the 17 area.
