Willehond Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 LOVE th AC wheels. The perfect match for that frame. Very, very sweet ride!
David #7 Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Very very lekker bike. Have to agree those wheels look awesome.
quickdraw Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Welcome to the hub, that is a sweet looking ride. It will have a slightly different look after it hits some mud at Tokai You sure it weighs in at 10.2kg?quickdraw2009-08-15 11:08:28
slow-up-the-hil Posted August 15, 2009 Author Posted August 15, 2009 The bar is a kcnc Bone, the stem is some unbranded100gr somethingall the red stuff are Aerozine thingsThe wheels are the light build, just under 1400gr.Tires are foldups, non tubeless.no rim strips, tape only.Aerozine BBthe pic was taken just after a bathit always gets home brown...10kg 200gr on the digital scale at Olympic.Was told the frame is very light, but dont actually know the weight.
Reghard111 Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 It needs a white fork, looks great...well done!
BrendonMyb Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 i want those wheels, where do you live again ????
Matchstix Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 NIce can drop a couple of hundred grams with lighter pedals and bar ends
quickdraw Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I always have to do a double take on those Scale frames to make sure they are not carbon!! I LUUVVV white frames.
Bos Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Yes very nice.. Im also on a mission, building a hight hardtail, but this thing looks Fantastic. and 10 Kg's Is well light!, I think a white seatpost might just do it for me..
AndreZA Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 A DT Swiss fork would look nice on that. Also get Look Quarts carbons and lighter bar-ends and foam grips.
mpcombrink Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Looking good ... Keeping it clean may be a bitch.
slow-up-the-hil Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 Im looking at getting it a bit lighter, but to shed a Kg is now gonna cost 10k. and that will get me thrown out of my nice home and onto the street.There is lots of confusion bout the frame's weight, some shops say its 500gr more than the carbon one, i really dont think so.i think the frame is more like a KG more.It gets a bath after every ride cause it parks in the lounge(after many fights)its spare set of rims DtSwiss X430 with X370 hubs are for sale for 2k
Bos Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I weighed my scott (old elite racing- 2004 perhaps) its a size large and It was 1.8kg inc headset and BB ,both aerozine) so yours cant be more than 1500g If the carbon one is about a kg flat. If I can add my 2c, when your chainrings on the Lx finally give the ghost get some lighter cranks from CRC but then ride it ride it.. thats light enough and the rest of it wont make you much faster. rather build another bike
