I am looking for a digital scale that can measure body or bike weight accurately. Any recommendation?

    Fishing scales are the only thing to use for weighing bikes. There's plenty on the market/ebay/local fishing shop.

    Quite difficult to weigh yourself with a set though

    I used to fish a lot so I'm pretty good at judging weight, at present I'm riding a 32Ib Look.

    Pah, that's nothing! My Look was sixteen feet long!

    digital body scale won't measure bike accurate as they are +/- 0.5kg accuracy.

    you will need a spring one in order to do both jobs.
    Road - Cannondale CAAD 8 - 7.8kg
    Road - Chinese Carbon Diablo - 6.4kg
