18lbs is road terratory, and there is no way I'd feel happy thrashing a bike about in the woods that is the weight of a fecking road bike :shock:

It's called cyclocross

 

[FluffyChicken]

So we're at 19½lb

(incl. pedals at ~250g)

Just take a pic of it on the scales and shut us all up!

Yeah, my cross bikes are under 19lbs and they take a good hammering - especially with my hefty frame aboard them !

Pickle UR bout twenty years outa date! Most of the local chaingang have Winter bikes at 15 now with 12 pound or less Summer bikes Storcks/Spins/Tunes/Lightweights etc
There's plenty of Scott Scales HT MTB's sub 15 with full Suss kicking around too now!

Re: Weight

Interesting ride. Impressive weight - think you need a on scale shot to verify though

Got any examples of these 15 lbs winter bikes? With guards on too yeah?
Thats a bit like wearing your coat indoors on a cold day. Go outside you won't feel the benefit. Come summer you'll not feel the benefit either!
