Weighing bikes

According to Fred of Higher Gear, Cons's bike is 13.1 pounds on their scale including pedals. This is about one pound lighter than my bike, which is a huge difference in this weight range.

Most of the difference may be contributed to wheels (at least 200g), and maybe the frame (about 100g). Other components should be comparable as a whole but I might have overlooked something.

I will go over to HG one day and weigh my bike on the same scale as well...before I go, I will visit Fermilab and fill the tires with helium first. I expect to meet Cons there getting his helium from his cousin, who works there.
