UK-Saffa Posted October 10, 2018 Author Posted October 10, 2018 What about one of these. Fabric cageless bottle system I prefer the ease of a regular bottle cage for my bottle. For my tools and spares though, the fabric system is GREAT!

UK-Saffa Posted October 10, 2018 Author Posted October 10, 2018 Cutting the bars should drop a few grams. It would, but it takes away from the 'functional' side of things, in terms of being a bike I can take out on a summer cafe ride
UK-Saffa Posted October 10, 2018 Author Posted October 10, 2018 Try the drillium thing. Maybe the on the saddle.

UK-Saffa Posted October 10, 2018 Author Posted October 10, 2018 Im really considering this. My saddle was only £10 so it might be worth a few well positioned holes

UK-Saffa Posted October 10, 2018 Author Posted October 10, 2018 If you want to go that route then cut the bars too. Those hoods are on a 4.42kg 58cm C'dale Himod, which still has a 2 x 11 group and full bars its the inspiration for my build, to try and stay as 'standard' as possible while achieving a goal weight
