Weighed my mountain bike today... 25.26 lbs!! Not bad for a medium sized 29er https://theultimatejeep.com/notfound.png (Sal, anything under 25lbs is really really really good for a mtb. 27-29lb is common for quality bikes)

Also threw my wifes new bike on the scale... 31.28 lbs https://theultimatejeep.com/notfound.png ... Going to have to cut some weight on that thing, ouch!

My bikes feel light I'll have to weight them and see now. I think one of the is a diamond back or something like that.
mine is 33LBS so I guess that's heavy then?
Diamondback? I'd guess 34-35lb
Edit: na, sounds about right for the bike :)
Mine should be around the 25lb mark as well, but I have no way of weighing it.
$12 scale from amazon prime :D

I just weigh my self then pick the bike up and do the math.
I used to do that too, but bathroom scales are usually only accurate to 1/2 lb. For example my bike weighed 25.5 using that method and so I wasn't sure if it was actually 25.6-25.7.
Now knowing that I'm 25.26, I can conceivably get to the 24.xx lb mark. (Its Just another hobby lol). Whereas if I was in the 25.6-25.7 lb range that's a lot harder to get below 25 ($$$$) and I wouldn't even think about it.
Dropped .88 lbs on my wifes bike last night when I installed her xmas gifts. We put on new grips, bottle cage, chainring, Inner/Outer bash rings and removed the front gears for a 1x9 setup.
She started at 31.28 lb and is now down to 30.40. We'll be dropping another ~1.5 lb when I install her new (used off ebay) marz 44 micro ti fork :)
