Muel Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Thats one nice bike, but no way is it 8kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esfrost Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Yeah, that 8kg sounds a bit too much or a bit to light , show us a scale picture.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam-pantera Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 hmm maybe my scales were out then , but i will take it to work and measure it with super acurate scales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoNnY__Mc Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 That is SO nice :$ Look below if your a weight weenie!BUT Can easily be made lighter aswell by changing the:zoo bar and stem to montyheadset to tensile or other,bb to tryall,cranks to tryall,ditch back hub for ffw set up,front hub to non disk,rims for monty,Lighter vee arms and leverand change the tyres to tryall!

liam-pantera Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 quite a few of the modifications you mentioned " jonny mc " i will be doing , my headset is shot so it will be replaced with a metta headset which is the lightist you can buy , my stem i might replace but not my bars yet . as for the wheels this is my ideal setup as i hate front freewheel , cranks are also on the cards and im thinking titanium avid levers and arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozonys Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Maybe it isn't actually an echo lite. Maybe its an echo lite lookalike carefully crafted from tin foil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam-pantera Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 nah guys im not sure on weight yet , nothing is confirmed until i way them on proper scales instead of bathrooms scales . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 It's nice but NO WAY is that 8kg. The spec isnt anything special, and even Muels which is all Ti parts only weighs 9.1kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 It's nice but NO WAY is that 8kg. The spec isnt anything special, and even Muels which is all Ti parts only weighs 9.1kg.Ahaha which is the same weight as maxs pimpin weight weenie ozonys.Yea that isnt 8kg. maybe nearer like 10kgs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 It's nice but NO WAY is that 8kg. The spec isnt anything special, and even Muels which is all Ti parts only weighs 9.1kg.9.3 actually.I know I can save 500gees easily though. New 08 frame, Try-All bb, then I can start going daft and Tarty Adam-ise the frame.My frame weighs 100g more than the 08 disc, my mount weighs 215g, the bb swap will save 100g.So I think loosing half a kilo is possible, but my bike is so sexy to ride as it is, I can't be arsed to change anything.
