Question

What is the lightest bike ever made to date?

Answer 1

Probably the ones use by clowns in the circus. The are about 3" high.

Answer 2

Well, there are many light weight bikes listed on here:

Or this one:

EDIT: Sliver...That link seemed OK to me. I deleted it as it wanted to DL some file, it didn't do that when I looked at it the 1st time, sorry about that.

BTW, there are weight weenies all over and it's so easy to go sub uci weight - check out the weight weenie site they have the cut-off on the listings. The super light bikes are not race worthy though they are ridable.

Answer 3

Sorry MR, had to turn you in on this one.  The light-bikes link set off my Norton anti-virus.

Edit:  To answer the question, UCI has lower weight limits, so there hasn't been much development below that point (15 lbs?) .    If I remember correctly, one of the TDF teams a couple years ago (Discovery or Phonak?) had to add weights to their team bikes because their sponsoring manufacturer had gone too far.
