In TOUR magazine issue of august or september there was an article of a guy
who put together a road bike with a total weight of 3.78 kg (if I remember
correctly).

Hmmm...mine is more like 16lb (without pedals). Maybe a Dolan
all-carbon-fibre wonder is 10lb, but you wouldn't want to pay for it
yourself.

Do what Merckx did and add a bit of "drillium" ;-)

The dude that owns Speedplay has a bicycle that weighs about 10 pounds-ridable.

Dear Zog,

Trevor may have confused pounds with kilograms. Or weighed
his bike with both wheels in the air while sprinting.

LOL! Yes, I have been following the "Clash Of The Titans" thread with
some amusement.

Dear Zog,

Then you are also aware that the net increase in spoke
tension must inevitably lift Trevor's bike even further off
the scale.

Or so I guess.

Time to urge the Fury RoadMaster's protesting bulk through
its daily double loop through the City Park. Less than 300
miles to the thousand-mile mark, and then I may roll it onto
the hay scales and find out the truth.
