Ok I just weighed the whole stable and I wish I hadn't...

Salvage Tech turned up out of the blue with a set of scales on a bike stand (good idea )

Took the oportunity and weighed them all and I have to say, I wish I hadn't.

Imagination was better than reality.

Conclusion, XLM needs to go on a carbon diet. 22.2lbs! That's unnaceptable. He's got fat! I've had words and he's going to play ball.

Quite chuffed the cx bike came in at 23lbs. Thought it was worse.

Weighing bikes is always a schoolboy error. You're better with your imagination....

Yup, BITD I really got my fingers burnt!

My old DB Apex (94/95 ish), full LX and Pro-Circuit forks. My imagination said 23/24 lbs.......the scales read 28 lbs.

I cried for weeks

hey, it doesn't matter.....most of mine are between 23-25lbs, so no featherweights and a couple of the frames would be worthy of a diet IMHO but then I'd get all nervous about breaking stuff...where's the fun in that?

edit: actually what really stops me is, the money I could spend on making one of them really light and bling can also be spent on another bike.........and that's the route I always seem to go down..... :roll:

My local bike shop has a bike scale they have nicknamed "THE DREAMCRUSHER".
