looks flimsy but damn thats light

 

 

[Matchstix]

The most interesting thing for me on the bike is that it has a Rockshox mag 21(modified) If I remember correctly the fork dates back from '94/5

[Racer X]

To be honest you could knock a fair bit more weight off. That said it looks fugly and that saddle is guaranteed to castrate the owner on the first big drop.

[wesf]

Was looking @ that, wonder how he modified it?? sure he could get lighter pedals.

He shoulda gone rigid!

Its not modified. Becker make about the lightest saddles available. Pure carbon, no padding.

[Bos]

To be honnest, If I was a old lady I would dig one of these, theres no way that will last in even a proper XC race if I ride it, unless you go very easy on downhills.

 

But like you said, she sure is light.

says so after the entry in brackets.

 

 

[Racer X]

Ah okay my bad. No clue how he did it, how ever it does prove that he values the weight of his bike more than his family jewels.

[wesf]

haha... a weight weenie needs to prioritize you know, LOL

[Matchstix]

 

well if he is not careful he will only be called a weight. . . .

"classic" 

[Weight Weenie]

Hehe sweet, but makes me wonder whats the lightest hardtail one can build with actual mtb parts( NO DURA ACE !!!) and thats rideable for normal people, like a saddle with padding and tripple chainrings and diskbrakes, decent tyres etc.

 

And the parts musn't be tuned in any way, they must be stock.

 

Any guesses?
