Good looking bike, you gonna have to give us a breakdown and what she weights in at.

Hell Yeah!!! I see there is a blk L for sale at a really good price but got no $'s right now.

For cheaper option +1 on the reign front. My wife rides one and she loves it. Had the opportunity to ride it in Eden one day and liked the fact that you could pedal it up the mountain, all around and then bomb it on the downhills.

anyone for some popcorn? I do see that on some products it is cheaper or the same price to buy locally so just shop wisely.

#1 & #4 with zippers in the front

Doop!!!

Hope x2 or R1's i think are the lightest but $$$'s

I think you not doing too bad with 2 bottle cages, barends and pedals. What brakes are you using?

11kg might be pushing it a bit? My Blur(L)is coming in at just under 11kg and parts list is pretty light. Flea hubs on ZTR Olmypics XO RD and shifter with matchmakers XTR FD XT crank Ultimate Brakes Monkey lite bars Thomson post with Gobi saddle Cassette and chain is sram 990

My brother in laws shova (L) came in at just under 13kg and had reasonable build kit. Wifes Blur (M) weights in at 12.5kg with XT stuff

would it also depend on what type of discipline you are riding as a XC bike should weight less than a trail bike?

12kg? but would you find that acceptable?

lol, the more 'fun' side of rowing.

Thanks ichnusa, took her for a few test rides and she goes like a dream. Luv the look of that SC HT you posted tho.

My new ride, still waiting for other parts but I just wanted to get her up and running. Hoping for the final weight to come in at sub 11kg.

See if the Bontrager plastic rim strips will fit in your rims as these will not break when you try to change tires.

lol, My wife spent some time in Japan before moving to SA and I kept telling her to turn at the robots and she was always looking for these high tech robots but couldnt find them.

sheez like, sorry to hear man. I hate it when people scam and steal, you work hard for that money and some f*cker just takes it from you. Name and shame the dude so no one else gets taken.

I dont know the weight of the XT but have you considered the AM Classics? They are pretty light and tarmac sl3 is selling them for R4250. Tarmac if u reading this I hope I get some kickback?

Do the right thing...

Have a big digital scale at work and a digital fishing scale at home. The fishing one is relatively inexpensive.

Santa cruz Blur large Brakes Ultimates Cranks XT Bars Monkey lites Stem Thomson Post as above Cassette 990 Wheels Ringles on Olympics Shifters XO with matchmakers RD XO FD Xtr Saddle Gobi 11kg Can lose a few grams here and there but Rand to gram is not worth it. Building a trail bike now and the weight prediction looks pretty good so far .

I will be fine on the weight limit Do you know off hand what they go for?

What would you suggest, seatpost and saddle seatup?

Looking for a light weight but comfortable saddle and was checking out the SDG I beam seatpost. Is anyone using them or is there other light weight components? I am using the Gobi XM wing Flex at the moment and find that pretty comfy but wanna lose a couple grams where ever I can on the new ride.
