Calling All Orange Bikes, lets see yours.

Not really of the same pedigree but here was mine:




Traded some kid a front wheel for it back in the early fixie days, put thousands of miles on it fixed, brought it to a new city and put a few thousand more fixed commute miles.

This was its last and best iteration but I had too many bikes. 32c front, 28c rear single speed porteur rack but it didn't handle front loads well. Still a total blast though.

I'll play!

How about a Gentlemen's Poodle and Grouse Society Lemond. Information I have is that there were a handful of these made. I've got the full owner history.









Once I swapped in some handbuilt clinchers this steel beauty still only weighs 18 lbs 7 ozs, ready to go with pedals and the bottle cage.

I just don't get which weighing scale you pals had been using. None of my steel bikes come close to even dipping below 20, most are ranging in 20-22 Ibs. With the exception of one, even the carbon bikes hover around the 18-19 Ibs range.

LOL, this one did surprise me. The 1400 gram wheelset I put on helps a lot.

Most of my other steel bikes are more in the range you say. I do have a 19 lb even 1987 Paramount but that has light wheels, a carbon fiber fork, handlebars, and seatpost.

The De Rosa is under 20 but have a Chorus 11 speed groupset on it as does the Giordana XL Super that about 19 1/2.

My 20 or so other steel bikes are more in the 20-23 lb range. That's always with the saddle, pedals, water bottle cages and sensors. I just don't count in the saddle bag, and frame pump that gets moved from bike to bike.

My magical scale, LOL!

Thank you James pal for satisfying my curiosity.

Because Photobucket sucks and has orphaned all the previous images I've uploaded in this thread, I am re-contributing my two orange bikes:
