Being a PYGA OneTen owner, i do think you are missing the point if you are trying to make it super light. If you want a super light all mountain bike, then there are plenty carbon bikes out there to choose from. Plus, its far easier to loose a kilo round the waist than a kilo off a bike build.

 

I've paid my "school fees" on my bike, after initially ordering all my own parts, i've ended up changing quite a few which have made a massive difference.

 

drivetrain etc up to you, but i promise, the following list will make the biggest difference.

  • dropper post (not negotiable)
  • Wiiiiiidddddeeeee bars (760mm)
  • Short Stem (50mm)
  • Aggressive / high volume tyres

 

My 2c worth.

Ya, you'll never get that bike super light, but if you want a one bike does all, and you want to race it, its worth a shot.
