Recommended Posts

Hello people, I`ve been around for some time, just browsing the forum and I've decided to post a thread myself : )

So here`s the catch. What bike do you have and what`s it's weight preferably in kilograms as I'm from the mainland of Europe: )

He I go:

Adamant A2 - 12kg ; ) looks bit heavy though : \

Pashley 26 - 16Lbs wich equates to about 6.8Kg's

i want photos and a spec list, i would be incredibly surprised if it actually did weigh that little.

fair shouts if it does..... but im a little spceptical when you consider most pro comp trials bikes dont weigh that little.

my bionic 10.5 kilos/23lbs measured in the same way with a meat hook scale at the bikeshop.

Does wait really make that much difference? Seems to me that these days people are doing ridiculous and expensive things to shave of a few grams which would lose the equivelant to having a shite before riding.

i will second that....or spend the time and money down the gym to get bigger muscles so yuo can lift the bike higher....
