i've always wondered what it would be like to ride a bike double or over the weight of my current bike, would a 50lb+ bike be possible?
my old ng holmes was a goliath but i never weighed it,
this was my ride way back then
frame> s&m next generation holmes stripped and laquered!
fork>g-sport custom modified superfork
bars> hoffman low drags (i think)
stem> s&m redneck gfr
headset> primo gorilla sealed
levers> snafu
f-brake> shimano deore canti g-sport modified
f-cable> primo pervert mod
rear brake> shimano xt u-brake
r-cables> lots! +primo pervert
cranks> profile 180mm race with hop up kit
c-wheel> profile blackjack 44t
pedals> shimano early dx mk2's
seat> dna noser
post> old school shimano dx (had since a kid and still have!)
clamp> primo viking
f-wheel> hoffman gack 14mm-hoffman 48 rim-primo dirt monster
r-wheel> hoffman gack 14mm-hoffman 48 rim-snafu rimjob
gyro> odyssey
grips> primo taj
b-ends> primo
pegs t1 ramp
sorry about the pic quality its a copy of an old photo!

This was my Zima...
I've ridden a bunch of different bikes over the years and to me the weight of the bike doesn't even come into it, but then riding in the late 80's/early 90's you rode whatever you could get your hands on!

Another bike on my "bikes to finish" pile
S&M Heavy as F**k with 1" clamp on Menstural Cycles forks.
1" clamp on redneck and Castilo bars
Phat ALex rims on PE hubs
Gen4 PA cranks with Kink chainring
V Monster tyres.
Just gotta get round to putting a chain and seat & post on it and I guess it needs 2 brakes a gyro and 4 pegs.

na chris you aint alone buddy,this threads not a down put on the heavy bikes its just to see how we rode on bikes that did weigh a tonne but we still just got on with it.
i never once weighed stuff worried about whats weighed what ifact i was always adding bits.
and still managed some full on street n ramp riding.
but with todays feather weights i now notice how heavy these puppies where.

Oh no chris, you are dead right. It never even crossed my mind that the 4 tyres, 2 chainrings, bashguard, massive hubs, steel plate drop out covers, thick pegs and heavy frames were doing anything to hold back my riding. It could only make it better cos the bike lasted for a whole session. I think its like in the 90s, when you found an 80s bike and you thought "wow, how did we ever ride this skinny, flexy, short bikes". Now we can look at 90s bikes an ask "how did we ever get these things off the ground?". It will come round again and when NS riders have had enough of snapping cranks when they drop down too many stairs they will start making do with a little more weight ... maybe not to 90s standards tho!

i never liked riding heavy bikes
i just found them uncomfortable
my bikes were always a "midweight". not featherweight like today, but always around the 30 lbs or less mark
