So it occurred to me about 3 minutes ago that I've never weighed my bike, and therefore I have no clue what it weighs. Being ever the slave to my curiosity, I proceeded to grab my bathroom scale, head out into the garage and get my weigh-in on.

So my previous Wild A$$ Guess as to my bikes weight was somewhere between 25-30 lbs.

So I was nearly giddy when I saw good old Margot weigh in at a svelte 43 lbs.

I gotta quit pampering my bike so much, at 43 lbs. I can pretty much run it over with a Mack truck and not do any damage.

So how much does your ride tip the scales at?
