XTC OKE Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 but i like a light bike aswell...think I must go Carbon could bring my bike down to 8.7 costing me 20k
TNT1 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Reckon you could get that one down to that weight, but you'd probably have to cough up more.
Racer X Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Changing the Tyres to Evolution beads,chucking on a KCNC finishing kit and using KCNC drivetrain components will knock the weight down to 9 kgs.

Johan Bornman Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I think yoju should get rid of those extremely heavy 1.8mm butted spokes and replace them with DT Swiss Revolution or SAPIM Laser spokes that are only 1.5mm thick.
