how much does you roadie weigh?

[vernon]

Enough to meet my needs.

 

[Part time cyclist]

Giant TCR advance 2 carbon frame with 105 running gear 8kg goes like a Ferrari with a fiat 500 engine

 

[Nitram55]

About 18 stone with his boots on.

 

[theraggyone]

medium planet x pro carbon with sram rival 22 .unladen wieght= 8kg bang on

 

[totallyfixed]

A more interesting question might be, "what percentage of your weight is your bike". My fixed is 13.4% of my weight [unclothed, both], other bikes are available some of which are lighter, some heavier .

 

[Dirk]

Just weighed mine.
7.3 kg.
2015 Focus Cayo 2 Di2 with large frame.

 

[lee1980sim]

17kg set up for daily commuting then I get on and it weighs 97-102kg hoping to lose at least 7kg with the new bike

 

[Scotchlovingcylist]

Felt claim mine is around 9kg.
Irrelevant to me as I weigh a lot, as does my rucksack and by the time the heavens open so do my clothes
If my wheels ever need replacing I may invest in some handmade lighter ones.

 

[outlash]

CAAD8 - lightest

CAADX - heavier

Genesis day one - have to be careful going over weak bridges


Tony.

 

[MikeW-71]

Defy Advanced 2 with stock wheels but including 2 bottle cages and a pump mount
8Kg

And now it is 7.75kg with its new Zondas fitted

Stock alu Defy 2 weighs in at 9.5kg. (The MTB is just a smidge under 13kg)

 

[gaz]

Canyon Ultimate CF SLX comes in just under 7kg.

16.6% (steel commuter - probably more like 20% with lights, guards, rack and empty bags)

I think the other way around is more interesting - what percentage of your bike's weight are you? (600% - or about 490% inc. kit above)

Or, of the total weight of you on the bike, what percentage is you, and what is the bike (from 86/14 to 83/17 depending on kit fitted. Probably 75/25 if you count the weight of the stuff I commute with)

 

[Cubist]

Planet X pro carbon frame, 11 speed 105 chainset, brakes and shifters, ultegra mechs, Aksium/Aksion wheelset, , easton carbon seatpost, 3T alloy ergonova bars, charge knife saddle 7.8kg

The percentage thing is pointless. If your bike weighs 7kg and you weigh 70kg compared to a bike weighing 12kg and you weighing 120kg, then what does it actually tell you?

It's not an exact science, but it gives a rough guide of power to weight, making all kinds of assumptions about average fitness and muscle mass and so on. If my bike was half my weight you would conclude that I was very light, or my bike was very heavy - or a bit of both. Either way, it would be impressive if I could shift such a combination as fast as someone with a bike that was 10% of their weight.

It's like cars and trailers - an 400kg trailer would be not much to my current car, but you'd know about it if you tried to shift it with a 1975 Mini 1000
