Chris_ Posted March 25, 2021 Share I see. I suppose I always thought the bike weight was the get-on-and-ride weight. Cool, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbz Posted March 25, 2021 Share Frameset, is that including fork as well? 350gram difference between frames is close to 30-35%, thats crazy... What was the framestweight of the Parlee including the fork? Yep. that includes the Frame Fork, headset bearings, BB, seatpost, bars and stem. Frame alone is +-1045G (including cable guides)Fork alone is +-476G (including cable guides)Seatpost alone is +-249G - uncut weight (i cut mine after weighinng as it would otherwise not go low enough) Interestingly the claimed weights of the Madone full frameset is 2kgs. but includes the seatpost.https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/road-bikes/performance-road-bikes/madone/madone-slr/madone-slr-disc-frameset/p/29527/?colorCode=black_grey so the difference is 230G lighter on the frameset the remaining difference is likely due to GXP crank vs DUB crank and BB, bars and stem combo of the madone is possibly heavier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furbz Posted April 1, 2021 Share What the...? This whole time I thought you was in CT. my parents are in CT, i try visit as often as i can. If he was in Cape Town he would have mounted a custom made bespoke flannel handlebar bag.... and it would be single speed I also initially thought so, then after one of his posts I a week or so back I checked his location. Maybe it was the wine cellar that threw all of us fair point. i will build the next bike by the bins so there will be no confusion regarding where i am located He bought the spark from a LBS in our neck of the woods. yep, got the spark from Ridgeway Cycles. i get around... That paint scheme is.........SEXY as hell...... Nah, not Porsche - will go nicely with a blue URUS its one of those paint schemes that looks a whole heap better in the fleshi'm working on the URUS. i only need to sell 1million more bikes to make it maybe sorta happen. possibly Jewbacca and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
