I'm curious
How do those folk obsessed with bike weight actually get an accurate weight?
The standard "carry your bike onto the bathroom scales" at best only gives an accuracy of 1 lb, and poor consistency at that
Kitchen scales don't go high enough to weigh even the most weight weeniest of bikes
Do people dismantle their bike and weigh the bits individually on the kitchen sacles?
Do they have access to industiral or laboratory standard scales?
Can you get special bike scales fro Wiggle or Ribble?

Dude, did you trace that, from a distance off a diagram drawn by a blind man using his feet from the description given to him by someone that could only use English quotes from the movie of \'Grease\'?
