update :
I've changed a few bits on my bike lately so thought I'd give this an update.
I've finally gone front freewheel, so far so good, but I do miss the noise of a king.
I've put a try-all 'H' hub on the rear with a try-all hole rim, old school front hope hub on trial-tech rim, a echo tr freewheel, hope team green headset, 2011 magura hs33 brakes,
I manged to weigh it at radfest and it come out at 9.16kg which I'm happy with but I would like to get to 9kg
