If you mean weigh my bike I use a bathroom scale. I weigh myself, then weigh myself while holding the bike and find the difference.

To weigh individual components I take them to work, I work in a calibration laboratory.

Electronic fish scale. You can even get a dial scale. Hang it up, and hang the bike or compnent on it. Some are pretty accurate.

Same as jaretj, just use the bathroom scale before and after and subtract. Not accurate to the absolute gram, but gives me a rough idea. My old steel classic weighed 24 lbs.

I use my bathroom scale to weigh the rider.

After that, there's no reason to worry about the weight of the bike. :P

I use water instead of air in my innertubes, makes for great resistance training!!!

"on your Left"

I just sit by big fat arse on it. Weights it down just fine.

"...what do you use to weight your bikes?"

I use lead tape from golf shops. That keeps the aero profile, but effectively weights the thing just fine.

nothing, because I don't care what my bike weighs ;)

seriously, we were doing a hill workout recently when at the top of the hill one of the guys comments about his bottle, it's full of sand!

190 pounds of lardass crammed into a pair of castelli shorts....

Anyone remember a product from the early 90's called "The Pigg" - a lead filled water bottle designed to make your climbing sessions more demanding? I did a quick search for a pic, but wasn't able to find one on the 'net. If anyone still has their archive of Bicycling magazines from the early 90's though, it's reviewed in one of those issues.
