How much does your bike weigh??

[sonssu]

I just weighed both of the bikes if have....

Huffy Blue Ridge 18sp MTB - 34 pounds.....

Lotus Elan 12sp Road bike - 25 pounds....

How much does the bike you ride weigh?

Depends on when you weigh it. If I weigh my bike with the saddle, pedals, fenders, racks, cages, pump, lights and computer attached, but without the panniers, handlebar bag or water bottles, it's about 32 pounds.

I weigh mine with everything except bags (tool bag, water bottles,  racks etc.)

My heavy touring bike (which I am not sure if I will tour on again) is 29 pounds or maybe a bit less since I started using 28mm gatorskins on it.

Lately since I started going pretty minimalist, I tour on a either of two bikes now that are in the 22-24 pound range, depending on which tires, pump, tools and so on I am using and how many tubes are in the tool bag.

My two extremes:

1.A Surly Cross Check with a mix of parts box components, a Blackburn rack, Planet Bike fenders, 700-28 Vittoria Randanneur tires, etc. weighs about 35 pounds ready to ride.

2. A Litespeed Tuscanny with 10-speed Campy Chorus, an Easton carbon fork and Vittoria Rubino 700-23 tires weighs about 18 pounds ready to ride.

The weight difference is VERY apparent when riding.

My Tour Easy recumbent was about 35 pounds out of the box. She's almost 7 feet long and made out of a bunch of a lot of steel pipes. Outfitted for fully supported touring with a fairing, bodyskin, gear bags, tools, spares, water, snacks and all that other stuff she's a hefty 50-55 pounds. More or less. At that end, it really doesn't matter much.

Does the mass affect my traveling time? Maybe. Do I care? Not a whit.
