Hi Faster than Fast, can you post a pic, size and specs of your Scott. Decent Tubeless tyres and proper saddle?

My 2008 med Sworks Epic

 

ZTR Olympic wheel, spesh 2bliss LK fastrak, Truvativ cranks, Fox RLC 32 100, Xt front mech, x0 everything, Avid ultimates etc. 10.5 Kg.

 

Wifes, small 2008 M5 Epic, same build 11.0 Kg.

 

My 2010 Sworks Epic, XTR cranks, XO, same as my 08... 10.3 Kg. I can take it down to 9.3 Kg, Racing ralph/ Rocket Ron, flat bars, reduce the sealant in the tyres, esi grips, XX Fork -only demo.

 

But the bike is a little more uncomfortable, and the tyres are not great for SA marathon conditions, perfect for XC and 40 km racing.

how do you guys manage to weigh your bikes so accurately? My bikes pretty heavy and I wondered how much, but never got so far as to actually find a way to weigh it?

Hi Hubbers,

 

Got a large Scott Spark 30 Carbon of course.

Standard when i bought it 11.3kg.

Did a tube less conversion with Maxxis ust on and weighs in @ 11.6kg.

With a few mods u can go weigh under 11kg.

Got SLX crank and shifters.

 

Can go lighter if u change the following :

Wheels, Fork, Seat+post, Handlebars+stem, Crank and shifters.

Was in your price range.

bought the spark 30 carbon frame uprgraded my GT Idrive carbon. Frame is 400g lighter.

Full xtr and dt swiss 1540 rims comes in at about 11.4kg with tubless.

 

Its a great frame and you could pick up the spark 30 alu. for around 25K.

I'd also be interested to find this out. Don't think my current apply-back-brakes-and-try-balance-the-bike-on-the-bathroom-scale is too accurate? :)
