EugeneS Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 That's lighter than most carbon frames. My aim is sub 8kg.Apologies for parachuting in here guys but a few observations: sub 8 kg is quite achievable - without trying mine came to 7.6. That's a 53cm frame with 11sp Ultegra, Richey cockpit and Ritchey Zeta wheels. If your budget allows, a sub 7 kg build is within reach, you just need some carbon tubbies and Sram Red! But enough of the weight weenie-ness - whatever it weighs, it rides fantastic and that's all that matters.
udxcob Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Speak to udxcob.He has one, and maybe even in your size.Mine is a 56 but you are welcome to pay me a visit and take it for a ride

Butterbean Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Gummi I know you've seen this pic already, but probably the best one I've taken of her so far. I know I've posted it already before but this is as close to complete for this build as it will ever be! First time build was done by the Sheriff at Summit Cycles Ritchey Road Logic frame (53), Ritchey WCS 260 stem, and Ritchey WCS 1 bolt seat postChinese 38mm Clinchers with Gatorskins (25mm)Power2Max Gossamer (painted the chainrings as the Ali finish was an eyesore)3T Ergonova Pro Bars (decals removed)Ultegra 11 Speed all roundSpez Romin Pro 155 saddleChinese (Zipp Knock Off) CagesLook Keo Blade 1 pedals Such an amazing ride. I can't get over how solid and smooth it feel on any surface. It just begs to be ridden more and more. Steel is most certainly Real!

Steel is most certainly Real!Saw that this morning and it looks awesome The 25mm tyres make a huge difference to comfort and handling.When the time comes for new tyres i'll be replacing my others also with 25mm.

As soon as they need replacement I'm also going the 25mm route.
