This is an amazing collection of the top 25 road (not MTB or TT) bikes currently for sale in 2011-2012. These are bikes based around frames which weigh less than 1kg and typically gives bikes of around 6kg but unfortunately cost up to £10,000! 2012 will probably see some frames that might brake the 500g barrier. Special on-offs are not included in this slideshow. Resolution of the images 1600x100 approx. Ranking based on manufacturer claimed frame weight. Free to download.
