When I worked in bike shops–and it’s been a number of years–higher end racing bikes usually did a pretty good job of listing the maximum weight on the bike. That was particularly true when they were bikes that were as close as possible to the minimum weight permissible for racing (which at the time was about 16#; I don’t know that is in kilos off the top of my head). Most people that were dropping >$5000 on a bike in the mid 2000s tended to be cat 1/2 racers already, so it wasn’t an issue, but there were a few guys I knew that were taaaaaaallllll, and they were barely below the weight limits, despite being lean as fuck.
