R5, dirty, but ready to roll
Cervelo R5 (58cm) on Mavic 45 SLR / GP5000 S TR (setup tubeless)
Including, Garmin Rally Pedals, Lights, Cages, Pump, Dynaplug and Garmin Computer. So, ready to roll! 17lb 4oz https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...c90fed50aa.jpg Would have been lighter, but it needs a clean. There has to be at least 0.5oz of dirt and grit! Barry Subtract 11.3oz for the pedals if you must. :) |

Quick CX1 - 23.25 lbs https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...a5828fb52.jpeg Quick 1 Disc - 20.2 lbs https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...94122018a.jpeg Topstone 3 - 20.2 lbs https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...baabd2851a.png Slate Force CX1 - 19.6 lbs all weights as pictured (no water bottles) |
19.8 lbs (lbs Park scale) as pictured. This is after getting rid of the stock boat anchor crank, and changing out the brakes. New wheels, this year, should drop the thing to < 19. Light enough for me.* Shifter/cassette change as well, but that will be insignificant when it comes to all-up weight.
*It already is; I just want a nice set of wheels for it. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...139af69ec.jpeg |
As they are shown
16lbs https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...f6566f8ea.jpeg 17lbs 2oz https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...67dab5af4.jpeg 18lbs 2oz https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...46bcf2392.jpeg . |
Interestingly, these two weigh exactly the same: 23lb 5oz.

I've never weighed my bikes.
|
My aluminum frame folding bike weights 24 pounds. I was surprised to know that too, since it was marketed as a light bike. But I am not complaining because it can ride it long-distance, fold it and use public transport when I get tired of pedaling.
|
My steel rocklobster, ready to ride, weights in at 20.5lbs. Either with saddlebag and road tires, or no saddle bag and cross tires. My single speed motobecane with carbon rim upgrade still weights 25lbs. Cannondale trail 2sl is 26lb fully equipped. I'm hopeful I can get a new set of wheels built for the rocklobster for cross season that'll take a bit more off, would like to get it below 18lbs.
|
Bruce Gordon Rock and Road Tour with toe clip pedals, cages, tool kit, racks, 50mm tires tips the scale at 34lb.
It carries about the same in gear, food, clothes, etc. on tours. Yours truly adds about 140lb. |
|
GT grade Caron elite 22lbs 3oz+ pedals+tools+phone+snacks=23lbs 15oz.
I am tubeless All that plus me = 238lbs 9oz! My weight is why I am not to concerned about component and bike weight. Yes, while that placed a role when I was more fit and racing but at almost 57 years old, comfort and frame compliance is much more important lol. This is also why I am not against a planned ride with a nice buffet as the meeting point!!!!! “Feed Me Semore” rdf37 |
From 2017:
https://www.bikeforums.net/commuting...-weighing.html 1997 Nishiki Blazer 49.5 lbs 1984 Nishiki International 32 lbs 2015 Charge Plug 39 lbs Since then I put drop bars on the Blazer which saved about 5 lbs. I also added a Dahon Boardwalk 20" folder which is about 30lbs equipped 16" Dahon GetawayV, also 30lbs 2006 aluminum/carbon Felt F86 which is about 19lbs I myself dropped 9 pounds since 2017. I think that's due to less muscle and less food intake due to a shorter daily commute, less distance riding and age (now 62). |

I had never weighed any of my bikes either, until I was gifted a Park scale that is hanging from a beam in my basement. Now I am weighing all kinds of stuff.
Anyway, all my bikes have large frames, and ready to ride, with pedals, the heaviest is my 71 Schwinn Sports Tourer at 28lbs 15oz, the lightest is my 91 Paramount OS at 22lbs 8oz. Tim |

Tim Nice riding bike. I gave it away (to my younger son). Wish I'd kept the Selle Italia saddle I put on it. |

That's interesting. I bought a 60cm '91 Paramount OS frameset awhile back and built it out with new 105 5800 components and Mavic Open Elite rims with 105 hubs. It was only maybe a ounce lighter. Depending on what scale I used.
Nice riding bike. I gave it away (to my younger son). Wish I'd kept the Selle Italia saddle I put on it. And since Marc Mueller very graciously signed the frame, after Waterfords last ride, I gotta keep it. Tim https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...9c28f1927.jpeg |

My 2022 Trek Checkpoint SL5 weighed 26.2 lbs. with two bottle cages, rear rack, top tube bag, pedals, frame pump, tube, tire levers, tubeless repair kit, mini-tool, bell, cycle computer and rear light.. My 2019 Trek Domane sl5 disc weighed 24.2 lbs with two bottle cages, top tube bag, under the saddle bag, rear light, cycle computer, bell, mini-pump, tire levers, extra tube, patch kit and mini-tool. What do other riders' bikes weigh? The weights surprised me a bit, because they seemed high, but when I consider all the things I ride with the bikes didn't seem especially heavy.

My tandem weighs about 50 lbs.
But my wife weigh in about 250 lbs combined. So, 300. We should ask like the airlines should: passenger & luggage combined. That might be meaningful. |

You don't have to be a weight weenie you aren't a pro rider. Only in the pro cycling world is weight a serious issue. Where just your bike being 500 grams heavier than your competitors could mean the difference between first place and no place.

Be that as it may, some of us who aren't racers still enjoy making our bikes as light as possible. It's a fun endeavor. I spent the pandemic lockdown shaving 2 pounds off my bike and enjoyed the challenge immensely.

Is the Cerakote finish as durable as it appears to be (assuming that that's a recent photo)? If so, it was a good move. Bike still looks gorgeous.
