Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

How much does your fixie weight? Mine is 7,65 kg (that's kilograms, you Americans!)
Have not used any 'stupid light' parts, but still pretty good, methinks!

No idea. Light enough to lift it up the stairs, which is as light as it needs to be.

20lbs. That's 9.1kg to you silly Europeans.

Pretty good for steel.

No Idea but I can lift it with one finger.

Pissed me off the other day, met this woman who used to work at a bike shop and was a mechanic. She built up some Giant frame with Dura Ace parts. The f'n' thing weighed less than my Pista. Grrrrrrr.

About 19 lbs (8.4 kg).

That's w/ cyclo tires, double crankset, and cro-mo mtb fork.

So pretty light.

lighter than my friend's colnago c-40 with record 10 and kryserium wheels, or so he claims. That made me laugh heartily.

Never weighed my bike but this piqued my curiosity so now I have. It's 18lb. I suspected more, around 20 but it's nice to know that it's 18.

If you pronounced the title of this thread as it is spelled, some may think you are "light in the loafers".

Think mine was about 17lbs, but it now has a steel fork instead of alloy, no brakes and tri bars, so it could be more. Wasn't terribly accurate with the scales either. I'll weigh it again when it's all back one piece (and take some snaps too ).
