I’m currently 175 lbs and standing at 6”3 to 6”4ish. I can get down to the low 150s if I want to but I like the power I can push when I’m heavier and recovery is way easier to achieve when I’m heavier.
I’m sure for most weight is just an out come rather than a target of the amount of training you are doing.
I need it converted to stones

Healthy at 95kg, 186cm. Could probably stand to loose 5-10kg, but I like cake and beer too much

71Kg, 174cm. Pretty much where I want to be. Sure, I could lose 5kg if I really wanted to… but there are no mountains in the Netherlands anyway 
. I like cake too.

My theory is that it is the cake/beer that gives me a good sprint

I’m 5’11" (181cm), and I currently hover between 200-204 lbs (~91kg). If I had to make a comparison to body types, my guess is that me and Pete would look pretty similar standing next to each other. Obviously, the similarities would end there…neither my hair nor my wattage are as glorious. However, I’ve always had tree-trunk legs, larger shoulders/arms, and I can move a decent amount of weight in the gym. I could afford to lose some extra baggage around the mid section, but otherwise I’m probably never going to be lower than 180-185 lbs, unless I start losing muscle mass.

I am 6’1” (185 cm) and 190 lb. (86kg)
81kg in the morning, but If I do a 3 hr outside ride in the heat, I’ll likely drop 4kg. At 188cm, it’s been a bit of work to get to this weight (close to single digit body fat) already stripping away over 10kg of lean muscle over the years, I’m not willing to sacrifice any more. If anything, I’d like to put on a few more kg of lean mass.
75.5kg and about 168cm. Turns out losing muscle is as hard as gaining it. Pretty lean at least, just cant help but compare myself to the typical cyclist physique
My question is, does height (therefore weight distribution) make much of a difference? Is someone who is also 75.5kg but 178cm at an advantage or disadvantage (broadly speaking, and i know its something i cant control really etc). Just curious to know. Is power output differed or anything?
From what I’ve read, not just from cycling books, but health and fitness literature generally, a cycling body, i.e. good powerful muscular legs and an upper body like an under developed ten year old is not the ideal. I’ve got a 164 km ride to do next April , am fifty eight years old and weigh 92kg. I’ve been training pretty diligently for nine months now and for fifteen years or more not so diligently. I have started a training plan which should see me at least fit enough to give it a good go. I’m not going to live on celery and lettuce for the next six months to lose a kilo or two. If the weight comes off then it comes off, if it doesn’t then it doesn’t. As you get to my age , I think that general fitness including cross training for non cycling muscle and joint stability, healthy weight maintenance, bone density and total body muscle mass are far more important than having an unhealthy obsession with W/kg or low body mass in general.

5’9” and hover around 160-162 lbs. I have a lot more upper body muscle than necessary, which the weight hampers cycling a bit, but I’m not going to just actively make an attempt to lose muscle lol. My ideal weight would probably be 157ish lbs, but the effort between 158 lbs vs 161 lbs seems oddly miserable based on past times I’ve bumped down to that weight. Current weight is pretty easy without major restrictions.
5’7 and 150lb. As for the strong legs/noodly upper body…hey, it worked for Tyrannosaurus Rex.
5’6" around 163-166lb these days. Time to get rid of the mid section flub.
191cm and somewhere between 92-102kg depending on life, training and focus.
