That bike is the sex i'll admit. But may i ask what's with the big weight issue bullshit ?

Really. Youdon't need a bike that light. To be honest prefer some weight to my bike so i know its there. Can't ride these featherweight things. Feel like there going break. So what is the issue with these ultra light bikes ? Doesn't make ridign any easier for me.

This guy knows what hes on about. I think having a light bike is great but theres a line and youve gone abit far adam. But i supose if you have the money and time and feel cutting a big sqaure in a 300pound frame just to saves 15g or what ever it was is worth it then. Whats next adam you going to takes steriods lol O yeah what you done with your ti frame by the way and your pro they been sold?

I think I'm about right regarding the 'line'... as you said I don't really break stuff so it's ok. I did the frame as a bit of a hobby when I couldn't be bothered to ride, it was fun :)

Ti frame may be for sale depending on how I get on with the Czar, found a teeny crack in my PR :(

he means at the end of the top tube by the back wheel, where there is a little bung/plate welded on he cut it out, so when he fed the hose through a hole further up the top tube by the headtube the hose came out the end easy as its a big hole :blink: probably makes no more sence.....

I think the bb is the line for me, it should be left alone IMO.

Especially as it has now been anodised.

I don't think you ned to go this far to have a really nice bike to ride, 9KG would be great for me. But if you don't push the limits of the stuff we already have, how do you improve the old stuff?

If something hasn't broken, make it lighter until it does.

Looks Lush Ad. Liking the headtube mod, how much did you save in each area roughly?

Frame and bash, as new = 2044g

Frame no bash, saved 142g

No paint, saved 42g

Bashplate mounts off bb shell/downtube, saved 22g

Bashplate mounts off stays, head tube hole, one yoke plate machined out, saved 43g

Hole in top tube, other yoke plate machined out, general tidying, saved 16g

Corners off the rear dropouts off, general filing to bashplate mounts, saved 14g

More filing and grinding to various bits, saved 8g

Head tube ring reinforcements removed, saved 5g

Faced/reamed headtube and BB shell, saved 2g

Larger holes in dropouts, more head tube work (breathe holes into top and down tubes), scoop on BB shell, saved 15g

Shot blasting and anodising, saved 14g

Total saving 323g :)
