Curious what riders on both lists find their comparably weighed carbon fiber bikes to weight. Again, pedals, saddle, bottle cages, but no luggage, frame pump, lighting, fenders, racks, baskets, figureheads, and so forth. Not CF (except for the fork), but my 2003 Fuji Team SL with FSA CF cranks, American Classic wheels, came in at 16 pounds. Of course, those wheels were scary light (when you pumped up the tires you could see the rim sidewalls bulge a bit!). The CF seatpost on that bike died after only a year of riding (fortunately we caught it before it broke), and the ISIS BB died also within 2 years. The frame was aluminum, and the fork died last year when my brother (to whom I'd gifted the bike) collided with a baby deer. (Baby deer was unhurt but my brother got lots of road rash and no broken bones) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
