markStockton Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Cheaper to go for liposuction and suck 10kg out. Then ride a 12kg bike which won't fall apart! Very good
Bos Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Jeesszzz guys, Oneday when Im old and wrinckly I might be able to splash out these fairy parts for a bike in a glass display for my mates to come look at.. but Eff..Maintaining these bikes must be horrible...? those bikes under 8 are "exhibition" bikes.I would love a 11kg ride, but at that cost I cant Imagin riding the thing the way I trash my blur. and the blur comes back for more.
TCRCARBON Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Can't be fun to ride with these okes. " yunno I squeezed my zits this morning and I lost 2.5 grams" " do you wax your pubes.... how much do they wiegh?"

By the look of things that bike costs more than my car!!!! Really something to see.....Foam grips. So how did he get it this light ? I cannot see anyone riding the epic with normal tires, so just by using normal UST tyres with stans (+-700g per tyre) gives you 1.4kg right there. How in the world can you get it so light ? and still do the epic ?
thatcap Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 My Spesh epic is 9.6kg. Burry Standers is 9.1kg with nothing special on it.at epic sauser's and standers bikes should be around 8.8kg.thats with 100mm front and rear travel
intern Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Aish! My 08 Epic S-Works is probably about 11 kg with all kinds of lekke stuff on it, you know, the usual XTR cranks XO RD, grippers, Ritchey 4 axis stem, EA70 bars, Magura Martas (love those brakes) Roval Controle E5 wheels.. No wonder I get dropped on the climbs. But you can bomb that rig like nothing else and it loves the beating!
Overlord Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Aish!

The biggest they make.
Serendipity Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I saw the bike of the Rocky Mountain lady - Pia Sundstedt - last year at the Epic. She had one of those Carbon Saddles on and did the whole Epic with it. That is what I call tough.

(mind you I have not *actually* weighed my bike, I am not convinced that the act of doing so will make me any faster!)
Velouria Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I heard that Sauser takes out the connecting rod in the shock - used for extra safety - and save something like 300g. Unpainted bike also saves 100g. They replace the all titanium bolts everyday on the bike.
singletrackmind Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 A friend of mine has a rocky mountain Elemtent team 08, full xtr, crosstrail wheels and ec90 setup. comes in at 10.2, size large
Mackem Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 My 09 Spesh Epic Expert, full XTR (inlc wheelset, except with SRAM Attack gripshifters), KCNC bar, stem, barends and seatpost, Fizik Aliante and SSteel Eggbeaters comes in at 10.5kg. Thats without trying so I think I could get it down further..... Stringbean, whats the weight of your Epic Expert???
