My curousity beat my "who cares?" attitude. 58 cm Atlantis, pretty standard Rivendell build (Brooks, Sugino triple, etc), with Soma C-lines on Mavic A-719 rims, Tubus Cosmo rear rack & small Nitto front, Acorn boxy bag with usual assortment of junk: 36-1/2 lbs.(dry; no water). Since I had the scale handy I weighed the Acorn bag alone @ 5 lbs.
To get under 30 lbs would mean giving up a lot of utility (not my kickstand!). Ain't gonna happen. Still, this is a fun exercise every once in a while. IIRC, my bike always gains weight. Just weighed my wife's 47 cm Atlantis: 30 lbs as she usually rides it: Riv built plus kickstand, cheap aluminum rack with REI trunk bag, and small Acorn handlebar bag. Without the trunk bag, 27 lbs. 32 hole wheels w/Compass tires. Can't recall the seat but it's not a Brooks, something lighter. dougP On Sunday, August 3, 2014 1:04:20 PM UTC-7, lungimsam wrote: > > Since there has been curiosity about peoples' complete bikes' and/or > frames' weights, I figured it would be fun to reveal how much our Rivbikes > weigh. > > Would be informative to know: > 1.
