For you ww who have their bikes below 6kg or 7kg....or whatever value you are aiming for......
(I assume this weight is bike only, no reflectors, no cage etc)

What else do you stick on it after and how much does your weight increase?
Bottle cages
Reflector
Rear Light
Front Light
Saddle bag?
Computer
1 or 2 bottles?
Pump/CO2
Bell

I'm at 7.4kg atm for my XR3 with front and rear reflectors, 1 cage, 520 garmin+mount and a bottle.

Good question. We all spend so much money trying to drop weight and then we load it up with heavy spares, lights etc.

1 bottle cage + bolts .............. 16g
black reflective 3M foil .............. 0g (on my scales at least)
red reflective 3M foil .............. 0g

no rear light
no front light
no saddle bag
no CO2
no bottle on rides under 2h
no bell

sometimes: Wahoo Bolt + mount .............. 87g

The light bike stays comfortably under 6kg with the stuff above.

Supersonic tube, cut conti levers, Ritchey CPR9, 2.5 allen, glue + patches, micro pump: go in Jersey pocket, sub-200g together. I have several bikes and can't be bothered to swap saddle bags overs, plus I carry the toolset on my daily commute as well.
