My working progress, still got some work to do though. Stem is rather heavy  :)

Could you do a breakdown Pat,

Damn thats light for a 29er with suspension.

 

Will help me find spots to strip down on mine that will push 10kg's when built.

As requested a parts list. As best as i could get it. Out by around 90 grams usually from greece, cables etc. But changed my stem and took the crank boots off and got it down some more. Goal is to have a sub 7.5kg fully XC race-able bike.

Why not just put it on the scale and give a real not calculated weight?
