so i've never actually weighed my SS as it wasn't really a priority but i was in the bike shop today and just put on a new to the SS set of hand me down wheels so i thought i'd throw it up on the scale. verdict-21.1lbs! It's crazy how easy it is to make a light bike without all those extra parts so i'm curious as to what others weigh, especially those actually built with weight in mind.
How much does your SS weigh?

borderline too heavy.It's definitely the fork and wheelset (540g rims), but love the burly factor.

It gets lighter when I run my other fork (z1) and smaller tires.

1999 Rockhopper (Ritchey "Nitanium" steel), Size M, stock everything but a Rennen Tensioner, big and small chain rings removed, steel 16t cog, aluminum spacer kit, Avid SD7 v-brakes: 25.5lbs.
Now with a Manitou Mars fork, and lighter rubber, it should be a bit lighter. I hope to get to sub 25# (23# is the goal) with a rigid fork (1x1?), mullet brake setup, decent wheelset, modern crankset, and tubeless setup.
