i think it is around there, i need to bring it into the shop i work at and weigh it... the floating disk adds a bit of weight...

Gpa970 (May 2, 2009 at 20:40)

maybe consider a new seat to make that thing past sexy

pannepacker (May 2, 2009 at 21:34)

yea, that is the next thing im getting, i broke it and its driving me nuts

fuck that is sex on wheels! haha dope bike!

thats weird, my blindside is only 36 pounds, but i dont have double crowns

pannepacker (Apr 3, 2011 at 23:24)

yea, the dual crown, the tires, and the floating disk probably make the difference. my new TR250 is just over 37lb but i hope to get it below 35 soon

zesty666 (Jan 2, 2009 at 20:41)

how much does it weigh?
just got mine and its 42.

pannepacker (Oct 20, 2009 at 21:38)

hahahaha, i just weighed it... and, well... its about 48.6 lbs

thats a solid bike for you. they funny thing is that it doesnt feel that heavy when u ride it, it rolls so well...

zesty666 (Oct 26, 2009 at 18:46)

haha daang thats heavy.

pannepacker (Oct 26, 2009 at 18:52)

yea, i plan to do a bit of work to lighten it up a bit for next season

zesty666 (Nov 9, 2009 at 20:09)

yea mine doesnt have the floating brake, so that saves some weight.

pannepacker (Nov 9, 2009 at 20:51)

yea, a ton!
but after i put it on, i noticed a big difference in traction, so im leaving it

zesty666 (Nov 11, 2009 at 20:50)

oh really? i figured it would just be another thing to break so i didnt bother aha.

shawndogger (Nov 16, 2009 at 21:19)

48.6? how is that possible? mine is 40.8 and the only difference is the fork, seat and post, and the floating rear break from what I can see.

pannepacker (Nov 16, 2009 at 21:20)

that is a really good question... i should really get some lighter components...

pannepacker (Nov 16, 2009 at 21:21)

oh, wait, CRAP!
i meant 46.8lb above :/

shawndogger (Nov 17, 2009 at 7:18)

nah, dont be a weight weenie, if it rides fine, then dont change it lol. I would like to get a 40 for mine though.

pannepacker (Nov 18, 2009 at 18:26)

i dont want to be a weight weenie, but i know i could strip a little bit of weight

shawndogger (Nov 18, 2009 at 20:26)

ya true, looks pretty sick now. with new stuff, I dont think you could go wrong.

pannepacker (Nov 18, 2009 at 21:52)

shawndogger (Nov 19, 2009 at 7:11)

zesty666 (Jan 4, 2009 at 15:21)
