Years of previous threads on the topic of bike weights, including the "why don't manufacturers list bike weights?" topic.

Example from one of those threads:

"The issue is that if they get it wrong and underestimate, then they could be liable for the "false" claims of lightness. Strikes me that there's a comparatively high margin of error in the components and the subcomponents (tape, spoke nipples, chain lube, bearings?) and that companies don't find that risk worth it."
