BLACK MATTER - 5.55kg Bottecchia EMME2


Ha Ha Kieran

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

 

No unfortunately there is only the custom geometry option available on the EMME2 from now on. Lead time for the frame is about 3 months as there is a long waiting list from European markets for the frames. As she is (with the brakes obviously ;) ) she'll sell at R69 995 or R27 995 for the frameset, fork and headset :) The Cannondale sits at 5.5kgs ex pedals, Garmin and bottlecages :thumbup:

 

For an extra R130 000 (the Cervelo cost was over R200 000) I could easily beat their weight :clap:

 

It is a seriously sexy frame! Raw 3K carbon all over :drool: :drool: :drool:

How much do those wheels weigh? I am still trying to work out where the extra 1.6kg's is on my bike with a very similar build (except with GXP, 1360g alu wheelset, gatorskins and a slightly heavier frame by about 300g)... I also want a 5kg bike!

 

Is that weight an actual reading on a scale or theoretical weight?

 

Anyways, that is an awesome looking bike at an incredible weight! :thumbup:

Thanks guys! Will get more pics up as soon as the entire bike is finished, brakes and all :) will also get pics of it with on the scale :thumbup:

 

UCI Limit is 6.8 but this was just to see how light I could get a bike for under R69 995 at Retail :thumbup:

 

Frame is full custom geometries :)

Top Tube - 51.5cm

Centre BB to Top of Saddle - 73.5cm

Frame weight - 825g with ISP (Frame is built even for your weight as a rider :) lighter for lighter riders, heavier for heavier riders )

 

Cannot wait to get this machine out on the roads! :drool:

Alain loves his SP9. The only reason he's swopping to the Mille is he likes the Bling chrome Giro version :P But then again... Like Alain said, he has 3 Bottecchia's so he must enjoy them :clap:

That's a bargain for the price and weight.

 

We have just done a Cervelo R5ca and the frame is 685 grams and will cost about R80 000 just for the frame.

The bike has Zipp 202 tubular wheels,Zipp bar and stem and full SRAM Red,LOOK blades and Zipp bottle cages on it.

It came in at 5.85kgs.Total cost was 13800 euros.
