Agree, must be around 5kg or less, if there is a weight limit???

Definitely is a limit, and not too light. I was under the impression it is also 6.8kg.

 

Was weighed pre competition last year and had to replace spoked wheel with a disc to get the bike to the weight limit

Bike Weight

 

 

 

For all road, cyclo-cross and track events there is a minimum weight requirement of 6.8kg (14.99 lb).

 

 

 

Ultra light road bikes and many track bikes may weigh less than the minimum weight. These are not allowed without adding additional weight to the bicycle to achieve the minimum weight. Water bottles, tool bags, pumps and such items that can simply be removed from the bike are not counted in the minimum required weight.Tankman2009-11-13 04:43:30
