Title: Bike Weights
Post by: punkdSICO on February 26, 2012, 07:47 PM
If you want to add, just 1 picture please and keep the weights in ENGLISH!!  :Great_Britain:  Also, only list the build details that are not obvious and relevant to the bike's weight.

hiya paul
is the top one right that seems incredibly light in comparison to the others (18.9 lb.) not wanting to crab the thread , good thread this , will have to weigh my lightweight ripper  :daumenhoch: and add to the list

Hi Glen - I have just repeating the weighing, twice on each bike and checking my reference body weight for each bike.  Yes, my originals were out but uniformly out.  The above are now correct and this still leaves the chrome DP 2kg lighter than the other builds.

btw, if it really does make sense to go back to the 1850's and use lbs, I will edit the instructions..

ta,

Paul
