Bike build suggestions

[mon-goose]

Well I?ve just bought myself the Raleigh RC Team frame recently advertised on the hub, and am now planning to build it up over the next few months as finances allow. I?m not wanting to break the bank so here are my thoughts on components and weights. Any comments or suggestions on what I could change.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

Component                                                Weight

Frame and fork: RC Team                   Not sure but guess around 1600grams

Groupset: Campagnola Chorus Ultra    Not sure but recon around 2400grams

Handlbars: Have a set of full carbon bars            240grams

Stem: Deda Zero 100 carbon                             110grams

Seatpost: Ritchey WCS                                     235grams

Saddle: Selle Italie Filante gel                             200grams

Pedals: Look Keo Sprint                                   260grams

Bar Tape and bottle cages                                 200grams

Wheelset: Don?t know yet                                 1600grams for a decent set

Grease, tyres etc                                               500grams

 

That brings the total weight in around 7.4kg mon-goose2007-11-23 04:30:58

klink vir my na n goeie plan as ek die storie so kyk

Just don't ride it in a UCI race, I will split on you.

 

HB tape and bottle cages should be lighter. What about tyres and tubes?

Tyres , grease and lub extra 500grams

[Mudsimus]

Ok....so then you still need tires, tubes. You can bargain on a complete weight of about 8kg's.

Is that frame and fork really 1400g? I think confirm that first.

 with those specs, 6.6kgs sounds abit to good to be true!!

[Mudsimus]

I'd say 1800g. Frame fork and maybe headset.

made a change or two. Will just see how it actually goes.
