Marius Posted February 19, 2009 Share Add some REAL tyres at 1.2kg, a real Saddle at 200g and a decent Crankset - 780g - then that Scott will be sitting at lets see : 580g+ 95g + 340g = New bike weight Total: 8.910kg, still freaken light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dries109 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Guys, the Scott is still impressive. My view - just loose a kilo or two and youre there. Why spend all that money to get a kilo or some down, when you can drop a kilo from your body weight? - and I'm not talking about the pros who are already super fit and at their optimum power to weight ratio - just a thought...

TCRCARBON Posted February 19, 2009 Share Cheaper to go for liposuction and suck 10kg out. Then ride a 12kg bike which won't fall apart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azonic Posted February 19, 2009 Share http://www.fotos.light-bikes.de/main.php?g2_itemId=1722 No-one can tell me a dual under 9kg is Epic ready. If you are a 50kg rider maybe, but for the average oke - no ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droo Posted February 19, 2009 Share 6.1kg AND IT'S NOT PLASTIC! From the same site, a 3.2kg road bike... for those that really take things to extremes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weight Weenie Posted February 19, 2009 Share Hehe rustig Marius! Ya I must concede there is no way one can ride a bike like that scott, most parts will need to be replaced, even for xc riding, nevermind the epic. Just thought id share a light crazy dually but some okes seem to be a bit scratchy this morning eish I only saw later that it was an epic ready light dually post, so that changes things dramatically. Pro's do ride 2 rings upfront and dura ace derailers though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
