"The lightest bike you can buy is 9.o49499105 lbs. This bike is not sold complete, you must buy all separate parts and build it from scratch ,

Forks: Odyssey s2 director forks.

Frame: Lopez-it.

Stem: Ax lightness Zeus.

Handle bars: Animal piff 2.0 bars.

Crank SET: Hiten burg.

Peadles: Light action.

Seat: Tioga carbon spider saddle.

Seat post: Alienation midget stick pivitol post.

Sprocket: Crupi chain ring.

Rims: Odyssey 7K-A.

Hub back: Odyssey race cassett hub.

Hub front: Primo N4.

Spokes: Odyssey.

Chain: Khe hallow half link."

OK-lets check the math on this.

Frame, 3.5 pounds

fork 1.5 pounds

bars 1.25 pounds

cranks+bb/gear 2 pounds

rims 2.2 pounds for the pair

that's over 10 pounds already!

tioga carbon saddle .5 pounds

chain over.5 pounds

tires s spec 1.5 pound for the pair

rear hub 1.25 pound

front hub .5 pounds

spokes 1 pound

seat post+clamp .25 pound

pedals+headset 1 pound

stem .5 pound

about 18.5 without brakes or grips

Of course I rounded to the nearest quarter pound but I think you'll find this to be pretty close. assuming you are using 16 oz or 454 grams= a pound

spokes weigh 1/4 oz or 7 grams each X 72spokes unless you spec Titanium which you should if you are going for ultimate light weight.

check out lightbikes.com

or weightweenies.com

rims are around 17 oz each-

The worlds lightest bicycle is 6 pounds. It can be seen at fairwheelbikes.com website and is estimated to cost $45,000.

I built a BMX micro for a 4 year old that weighs 6.5 pounds. It can be read about in May 2013 PULL magazine.

Some exotic bmx minis and micros have been built that weigh less than 8 pounds- these would be for four to six year olds who race BMX. Typical minis will weigh from 12.5 to 15 pounds ranging in price from $2000 custom built to $300 stock model.

Damon Sprague showed a custom built micro mini at the 2012 USA BMX Grand Nationals that weighed 7.59 pounds! Further work was done off till an astounding 6.5 pound weight was acheived. It can be read about in May 2013 PULL Magazine article by George Vick.
