I know…big missed opportunity on my part - I absolutely should have weighed those bikes but I was like a kid at Christmas and got caught up in the shiny new bike excitement. Totally forgot about weighing the thing.
Someone mentioned (was it this thread?) about knowing how a bike feels weight-wise, and that’s true. I can tell the difference between adding and empty Saddlesack or not. I can probably tell the new seat post I put on my Platy is heavier if I go lift that bike right now. I’m moving to Michigan in 3 weeks. Here’s hoping I make some Rivendell friends in my new state who will keep me accountable for this stuff! 🤣 Sorry!
