Isn't Chapter a catalogue bike? I get what you are saying, but weight isn't the only metric that makes this bike 'cool'. One thing Spaz do very well is R and D. So their bikes work. Love to hate them, but they have bikes for all price points, most avenues of riding and pretty much all of them flex where they are meant to and don't where they are not supposed to. One could definitely build a lighter bike. That Cannondale Alu frame built up at around 6kg with all the right bits. Ride quality is also important, especially when you are paying so much. I would choose this over a catalogue bike any day of the week. It has literally been designed from the ground up so that the cafe racers and social group riders can brag about their bike. This bike makes no sense! It isn't aero, it isn't race legal. It is purely an ego booster/superbike for a mamil. That is why it pains me to admit that I want one, despite knowing that it will just highlight the lack of schlong in my bibshorts and make me feel like a hero while I climb one of Cape Town many fake hills slowly... But feeling like a hero nonetheless.
