you've not accounted for nuts, bolts, grease or dust.

my trials bike weighs just under 10 kilos (acording to bathroom scales + maths)

my bmx weighs a lot (according to guesswork)

My 24" wheeled Koxx 1100 runs at 10.9kg (~24lb) for natural and at 11.4kg (25.1lb) for street. The difference is due to the change in rear tyre.

Used to have a 9.5kg (20.9lb) trials bike once upon a time... :mellow:

PS: But if you think about it an 8.5kg mod isn't that light cause the frame still weighs 1.8-2.1kg and the rear tyre is +1000g! Imagine if people started coming out with 1-1.5kg frames that would open the possibility of sub 8kg mods and sub 9kg stocks. And don't tell me they'd break cause if its done right it'll hold just fine!

The main thing thats missing from that is the air in the tyres, I'm not messing around, it can add up to quite alot. If you think about it air does weight something, and if theres 20psi in there then thats something like twice the amount that air would at normal preasure I think. I dunno, I just remember reading it in some XC magazine where they were adding weights up in a similar way.
