Andymann Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Got my Merida 96 3000D to under 13kg without doing much at all - Thompson Seatpost, FSA flat bar, and trimmed all the cables. I paid under 20K last year, and I think there are real bargains to be had now because of the new model. And I've got some real heavy tyres on now too - Geax, which if I changed could save me 500g - but like has been said earlier, no punctures is way better than 500g saved!
Doggone Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Found this breakdown on another website. Anthem X 29er Weight weenie stuffSo I took delivery of my new Anthem X 29er 3. I had been curious about exact weights of some of the parts and hadn't had much luck finding them. So I disassembled the bike all the way down to nothingness and weighed each part down to the shifter cable housing and rotor screws. My gf was less than impressed with the lack of attention to her But since I went completely nuts and did all of this stuff I figured I'd pass it on. Oh well I needed to tear it down for the SRAM XX stuff to go on.

Wayne Potgieter Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Tell him to have a look at the Specialized Camber Comp, real nice bike. Would that be under R20K?
Shebeen Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 my santa cruz superlight is about 12kgs. bit of xtr on the drivetrain, but nothing too special
madvics Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 My Trek ex5 weighs in at 13kg with slx components, I recon if i upgrade my front shock(recon silver) and my rims(alexis) I should be able to bring it down to around 12kg
Meentb Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Just bought a Cannondale Scalpel for 20k. Weighs in at a good 10,6kg
Headshot Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I would love to see all the sub 12 kg. bikes on my personal scale with sealant, proper tubeless tyres, pedals and bar-ends on a mid level bike. Indeed so would I - decent strong tyres add weight, as does the pump and other lovely accessories...
Kranswurm Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 my santa cruz superlight is about 12kgs. bit of xtr on the drivetrain, but nothing too special Yes mine is just underBTW check out the new Super Light 29er
