What does your bike / wheels / frame weigh and cost

[Pornstar]

I knew this would be a interesting read...once there is a lot of info on here with pics of actual things we talking about with scale we can rank the top 10 of things

 

Like lightest, best value for money etc

 

Just for interest sake..not slamming any brands or anything

[Shebeen]

should get a graph something like this.

[FlashJordan]

 

 

Aaaaa......Look695 in with a shocker.

I just might add mine.

 

hehehhehe

Ha ha. Let me add mine. Look 695sr with SRAM red and Darkhorse 50mm clinchers, 6.62kg with pedals. Just under 7k/kg for what I spent bought 2nd hand (except the wheels -new).

[rouxtjie]

should get a graph something like this.

Where is the point of diminishing returns?

[varkie]

Specialized venge pro size 61cm, full sram force, s works handlebar, shimano 105 pedals, easton EA50 wheels(my next upgrade to come). Gatorskin non foldings.

 

7.5kg. R38K

R5000 per kg

[hayleyearth]

should get a graph something like this.

 

nope, my MTB doesnt fall on (or below) that line

infact, I know of quite a few poeple that will 'upset' that line

this was just a thumbsuck, i didn't start entering people's data into the graph. but a scatter plot should really follow this norm.of course there would be outliers. There would also be huge discrepancies on mtb, because carbon, ss, ds and hardtail would all have different characteristics and shouldn't be lumped in the same grouping.

 

here's an extended one.

i thought it would have been a bit lighter

[Shebeen]

and here's the inverse.

 

[nigelhicks]

i thought it would have been a bit lighter

 

lighter??? No thats about as light as most of the DH bikes get these days ...

 

at the moment the Trek Session is one of the lightest around at 15.8kg ...

I think the santa cruz V10 is around there too

 

if i added in a ti spring and better rear shock i would dump 500g ... oh and lighter bar stem and seatpost - will drop the other 500g ... but its not worth the added cost

I thought it would be just over 15kg's....I need to do more research (see, I am not ready for a big bike yet...know too little)

[SL7]

Finding it difficult to extract useful information from this thread.

 

Cost per kilo is misleading in some respects

 

Also don't know if items were bought used or new

 

Graphs will be skewed IMO

I hear you its very hard to say where the "tipping" point is..... for me its 25k...for someone else it could be 50k

I'm not going to do this exercise, i'll be forced to admit i have a cycling problem and cheap car
