Since this morphed into all makes-not just Schwinns I asked the mods to move this to the Vintage Lightweight section. My latest weighing in at 14lb 6 oz is my 2010 Merckx EMX5
This is my lightest... 2013 Ridley. It's my urban assault bike so I went with a cross frame and built it up a little more stout than a true road bike. I'm a big guy and the roads in Atlanta are terrible so I always feel like I may break anything sub 16lbs. With a gator skin on the rear I can ride from road to gravel and anything in between.
Comes in at 19lbs... pretty respectable for the beating it can take
@comet thanks for reviving this old thread and adding more to it!
@Freqman1 your bike is ridiculously light. Nice big chainring. That thing hauls.
@kccomet adding another ultra lightweight to the list, thank you. Bean graphics are yummy.
@dasberger getting below 20 lbs is nuts, especially for a gravel worthy ride. Nice!
@corbettclassics your addition is a wonderful balance to all the modern bikes. The TOC Pope Columbia pics and all the documentation you included are amazing. I appreciate you taking the time to add all of it. Great seeing two pre-1900 bikes in the top 15.
All new entries made. We have almost 70 bikes on the list now:
@49autocycledeluxe, so is that with the Miller kickstand and new fenders or before? I'm surprised it is 4 lbs lighter than the 41 New Worlds. Can't be just the chain guard....maybe the saddle is a bit lighter too...

I weighed it just now and the only difference is the horn is gone .... it could be my vintage scale ... this seat has to be lighter than most other seats found on these.
my 19 lb 1992 Lemond weighed in at 19 lbs. so the scale can't be too far off.
