 to see how this bike was made so light

 

 

I have the same frame, but only get it to about 10.8kg with full xtr and v-brakes +  Manitou MRD R7 fork + Hutshinson Python tyres + DT swiss 1480 rims; With Maxiss Mimo tyres its 10.5kg with pedals on.

 

An amazing bike. will not swop it for anything

Beautiful frame, you would save some weight if you took off all the bubble wrap

 

I am sure you all checked out this site already

Yep, that is one cool post

Very good looking bike. Its a pity that the wheels are'nt tubeless. I'm sure he can save a few more grams if he makes the wheels tubless with the standard tyres.

 

And full points for not using a carbon frame!!!!

Thats Cheers on MTBR, I know him pretty well. He is going for some Sun Ringle EQ21 rims on a Industry Nine build on the wheels.

wow amazing bike, read he whole article, some amazing stuff gone on here

Some of the parts on my bike are lighter than those, and some are slightly heavier. If I could, I'd get myself a slightly "older" Kona The King, the Hei Hei's predecessor, also with blue lettering. Also replaced all the bolts on my Scalpel 3000 with titanium. I think the most weight I'm wasting is on my Cane Creek converter headset, it weighs a ton.

not that amazing - who rides with tubes? who really wants only 27t at the back?

 

 

[singletrackmind]

Dont worry about that stuff....

 

tubes, many people still use, I do.

 

and 27 at the back, give the dude a break, its his bike after all.

 

Its an amazing project bike i think

Apparently its a lighter setup than a 2x9. I reckon thats a load of cr@p though nothing is lighter than a THM Clavicle crankset done up with Extralite TA Specialities , 28 tooth inner ring and Extralite 44 tooth Octaramp, ( outa ring). match that witha KCNC 11-32 cassette and you are allready 200 grams lighter.
