Approximately where is the center of mass of a mountain bike? Take a "standard" multipurpose bike like this one: http://www.islabikes.co.uk/bike_pages/beinn29.html (Weighing 12.2kg)

I'm conducting a physics investigation, and for this I need to know the approximate location of the center of mass of the bike, or any similar bike for that matter. (Are there any sources for this?)

Now, before you holler at me about it being impossible to determine, too many factors etc, I just need an approximate value, precision isn't too important.

Thanks!
Assuming you want the center of gravity of the bike alone (not with a rider), there is a very simple procedure you can perform yourself, as long as you have some bike (you could borrow one):


For simplicity, strap the front wheel to the down tube of the bike, so the handlebars won't turn; You could also strap the brake levers in the "full braking" position;
Lift the front wheel from the ground, balancing the bike on the back wheel. Lift as much as necessary so the bike keeps almost falling back. Now the vertical line passing through the rear hub is the line where the center of gravity is;
Repeat the procedure with the rear wheel lifted, so that you know the the center of gravity is directly above the front hub;
The approximate center of gravity position is where both lines cross.
