Typical loaded weight for a brevet bike?   Message List

Re: Typical loaded weight for a brevet bike?

I weighed my bike at the beginning of last season's 400k and 600k and it was 30
lbs. It had 2 full bottles, a seat bag, various powdered drinks and gels, some
extra clothes, lights and spare batteries. I wore a camelbak too, that would add
about a pound. My "naked" bike weighs 17.5 lbs. so all the accessories I carried
added up to about 12-13 lbs. like Bruce's.

I haven't weighed a bike of mine in over 25 years. That ceased to be a meaningful data point for me a long time ago. I figure the bike is going to weigh what...
