How heavy is your bike.....

[CAB]

Along the lines of some of the other threads about at the moment (MTB v road bike and relative performance) i was wondering what a decent bike weighs.

I have a cannondale hardtail MTB F600 and it is is 22lbs. Is that a lot for a MTB and how does it compare to road bikes....???

Thanks CAB

PS - i had to weigh the bike to setup a new toy a garmin edge ;-)

That is really light, and race weight for a good mountain bike.

That makes me feel a little better abt the bloke on the full suss who always seems to out sprint me down the mall..... didnt think they could make them that light. How much travel ?

That's less than a 1/4 of the weight of the cargobike I use for commuting.

MY KHS Tucson is something like 30llbs, heavy forks and big wheels + steel frame. Have a trek 6500 disk in the garage too which is easy 1/3rd lighter.

the fly is 10.6kgs, but 9.8kgs with the race wheels and tyres
Cyclocross bike 8.1kgs and Madone road bike is 7.2kgs

My big bad Orange hardtail weights 15kg

It's a bloody tank though - it'll roll over almost anything

Mine (Boardman MTB Pro) is about 23lb something, about 10.5 kilos. But at the moment it's probably half as much again with all the mud from the weekend!

My Ideniti Dr J must be close to 40lb, but bomb proof at the same time.

My 07 Commencal Meta 4.1 come in around the 26.5lb mark on some cheap fishing scales i've got.

Please post pics of your Fat Chance. I imagine you have a load of Ringle and Grafton stuff on it.
