All right all you "my bike is lighter than a unicorn fart" guys, let's change this to bike + rider weight! I'm at about 175 lbs. Who can beat that?!

Actually this thread started as a "Holy Sh*t is my bike heavy!" thread.... but ok... I'll play. I'm 205. Kitted with all day pack, probably 215-220. Plus my portly bike. You will definitely kick my ass.

Ran into the garage to check because I had a feeling my Niner RLT 9 RDO was going to be heavy with all the bags. With stuffled saddle bag, lights and front bag with more tools, weighed in at 22.5lbs. Bit surprised all that stuff adds almost 4 pounds.

It's amazing to me how it all adds up.

21.4# with rigid steel fork, 22.5 with Fox AX.

How do you like the fork??? The Lauf takes the edge off of things, but it is definitely NOT a suspension fork. More like a vibration dampening fork. Hits you absolutely feel.

Are we accounting for bouyancy due to extra hot air?

Not really that unbelievable. My large open wi.de ready to roll (with 35mm g one speeds) comes in at 16.6 less the egg beater 11s which add 1/3 pound. So, just a hair under 17. View attachment 1999989

What impresses me is the kitchen! Like when I read car forums it's the driveway pavers and garage that are the real stars. You've got style.

Not stripped. As you would head out the door (minus water bottles).

Weighed mine this morning and was shocked at how portly the old girl had gotten. Size XL Salsa Warbird. 25.6 lbs as pictured.

Complete tool kit including chain tool, multi-tool, short length of chain and 2 QL's, 2 tubes, patch kit, bacon strips and tool, 2 CO2 cartridges. Frame pump, triangle bag, top tube bag and taillight.

Started life at a svelte 18.7 lbs. with 700c wheels and GK slick tires. The fork and post don't help (well... they actuall help a lot. Just not in the weight department). Neither to the big 650b tires. The cassette is a paper weight. I would put her on a diet, but she's a ton of fun as is. I'll just have to work a bit harder on the climbs.

All this talk about embarrassing levels of weight! Not a single word about fun factor or enjoyment.

My Wolverine is a friggin pig at 25 lbs but she rides nice. I could change things out to lighten her up but it's just not that important to me.

I did have her powder coated earlier this year. She was black and grey but I like color.

Oh and I clock in around 148.

Just had a blast on mine at RPI stage races last week!

I thought that was a given. Not to be snarky, so apologies, but the OP didn't ask "how much fun are you having on your gravel bike...and how much does it weigh."

 

[barelfly]

just out the door, it’s probably 25lbs.

When I load it up and go out for a few nights, uggggh….dang thing is heavy! Ha. This was my first trip out, I think I was no lighter than 55lbs. But man was it a heck of a trip!

Are you kidding? My pic shows us playing in a creek. Do I have to tell you that's fun?

OK.. fine... let's turn this into a "I have a gravel bike and I just love it because.... OR .... My bike is so heavy that I hate it..." Fun is NOW the most important attribute.

For the record, at 25+ pounds, I would change nothing. I LOVE my bike, the freedom it brings and the country I cover.

Loads of fun just peddling around town & even on some blue trails, more so with the 29x2.1 tires. It's a great all-terrain bike that might be a forever bike type sitatuon for me.

My gravel bike was just under 20 lbs when I had lightweight drop bars and a 180 grams seat post, and without all the crap I always carry on the bike these days. The laden bike's weight these days is 23 lbs without water bottles. - I added a dropper post, slightly heavier gravel dropper bars, that have about 8 oz of gel padding below the handlebar tape, a bento box, and rear seat post tool bag with tools.

OTOH, I am spending most of my time riding my, almost new, 29er hard-tail/bike-packer. (has dropper post, and gravel drop bars.) It's riding weight is just under 28 lbs. It has a front SID SL Ultimate front fork and a lot larger tires. For my gravel road / longer-steep-climbs/ and rough steep descents, I am riding significantly faster overall on my 29er than my gravel bike. This is because I can descend so much faster than that rigid forking narrower tired grovel bike.

My Carbonda CFR707 is at 23.1 lbs with a heavy wheelset and 700x50c tires. It should get a lot lighter when I get around to building up a lighter wheelset and fitting some narrower tires.

I realize the weight is irrelevant since I weigh 205 and typically have close to 15 lbs of gear, tools, snacks, and water when I ride.
