I'll try this out. Been wondering how much my bikes weight. I've only been commuting about 4 months or so - but have ridden each of these to work at one point or another. I take two routes depending on traffic, either 4.5 mile or 8.5 mile ( during busy traffic times or if I want extra exercise).

Batavus Personal Bike - 45.9 pounds




Trek 720 - 26.8 pounds




Giant Kronos - 26.7 pounds



Trek 850 - 36.6 pounds


And my wife's bike - she has been commuting with me to work at times.

Jamis Commuter 4 - 37.7 pounds

Wittyname

Trek 1.2 - 22.6lbs


Trek Crossrip - 29.8lbs

Should I get in on this one? Sure! Why not. I have commuted on every one of these, but the Thunder Ridge is mainly for commuting......................

Let's start with my only non-Huffy bike. 1989 Reflex ALX Carbon. Weighs in at 25.3 LBS..............



My main commuter. This 1995 Huffy Thunder Ridge was built specifically for commuting and weighs in at 44 lbs......



My racer is a 1988 Huffy Techtra Lite and it weighs 29.7 lbs



This 1983 Huffy BMX weighs in at a whopping 31 lbs......

that could be the case though I have found the silvertip to be the stiffest framed folding bike I have ever ridden being a true diamond frame. the two are very similar in form but there are a bunch of subtle differences that i think contribute to that sluggishness, the aluminum frame verses the steel, the dahons slightly shorter steering trail that makes it a little more work keeping it steady, the rear wheel half radial lacing(gotta change that), and I think a few of the other geometry differences like seat and head tube angles effecting the relative positioning of the bottom bracket.

I have always weighed my bikes by standing on the bathroom scale, then standing on it while holding the bike and subtracting.

My Felt commuter road bike comes in about 22 lbs. in stripped down configuration (rack but no bags), and closer to 30 with my usual commuting setup.


Custom-built Marin Pine Mountain utility hauler bike comes in closer to 35 lbs WITHOUT any bags.


Recently re-built 1995 KHS Alite 1000 MTB using spare parts I had in the garage, built up as a rigid gravel-grinder type of bike. I picked up some new 2.0" tires with much less tread in the center that works awesome on paved and gravel roads, but still with some off-road capability. It comes in fairly light at just under 25 lbs but there is room to make it lighter (new stem to replace the heavy adjustable version, narrower bars, smaller bar ends).

2014 Trek CrossRip

21.5 lbs as you see it here... with my bag about 30.

That is easily the lightest weight I've heard for a CrossRip. Those Boyd wheels must be featherweights. What else you've done to lighten it up?

Surly CC 29 pounds even. Brooks B17N, tool bag with tools, water bottle and cage, Zipp bag, headlamp and two tail lamps, bell, rack, PB fenders, Cateye. As weighed on a digital scale.

Lots of tanks here.

I'm not a weight wienie but y'all make me really love my Curtlo (23 lbs riding weight with a Brooks Flyer!)...

Loose Chain

Picture as weighed or it did not happen.

So that would be what, 18 pounds, with a normal saddle?

Loose Chain

Nice, kinda naked though . Pretty for serious.

You used to have a CC did you not?

Andy_K 

Me or rmfnla? I used to have one.

About 24 pounds as pictured here. I'd have to lose the triple to match rmfnla's Curtlo for weight.

Loose Chain

Nice, yes indeed, the weight of the CC is much exaggerated. It certainly is no featherweight but all in all the only tank like feature is not its weight but its ability to absorb punishment that would break many bikes in two.

I upgraded the crankset last night. Now it's 19.74 pounds.

Following @noglider's suggestion, I emptied the tool bags and took new pictures with my crummy cell phone. They weigh 32 and 27 pounds, respectively. Both bikes are in what I consider to be their "final" state, meaning that I won't pursue any more upgrades, and am in N+1 mode, thinking about getting a more conventional bike for casual group and family rides.

I'm surprised by both. The Schwinn should be heavier, with all of that crap attached to it, the Trek lighter, though the IGH adds some weight.

Trek Lync 5

27.5 or so since I took off fenders temporarily. The internal gear hub is where all the weight is but I love it.

jaxgtr

Yea, they are pretty lite. The change in wheels and tires reduced the weight 3.5 / 4 lbs alone. Using 25mm tires, carbon post and bars, swapped out the brakes for TRP HyRd brakes. Recently changed from the Michelin's to Gatorskins, so I think they added a little bit of weight, but it still less than 24 lbs.

I've since switched to Al bars and black grips so the weight might have gone up a drop, especially with those grips...

The picture just isn't helping. How does that weigh 44 pounds?
