Who Has The Heaviest Bike?

[oldfart36]

Not really sure this is something to be proud of, but the post war fully dressed deep fendered SD's and SC's have to be near the top when talking weight.

Just viewing 2 pages of heavyweights makes my legs ache.
Just call me a lightweight.

Again, you need to put it on a scale. I can post pics of ballooners all day long but it does nothing to answer the OPs original question.

I'm with Dr. Freqman. "Heaviest" must be expressed in units of mass: pounds or kilograms or stones or slugs.

52 Phantom- 55lbs without the D cells

Brother Grey has the right idea. Two D cells weight between160 to 180 grams or 0.7 to 0.8 pound.
I'm going to sneak my wife's bathroom scale down the basement and see the weights my heaviest bikes.

Sorry, please remove. Missed the “Ballooner” remark

Yes! Get a scale and lets see what you got.....

Depends how you define a bike- any velocipede/boneshaker with a wrought iron frame, steel tires, solid wood rims and spokes is going to be 75#+ at a guess. Highwheelers were a little lighter- mostly. For ballooners. Columbias seem to be heavier than others. People I knew who grew up in Westfield Massachusetts griped that they HAD to have Columbias, but some sneaky kids had lighter bikes...
