7.7kg... sounds doubtful unfortunately, especially with the list of parts you have...

Yeah, thats what i really posted this topic to find out because 7.7 kg is ridiculiously light, can anyone tell me what the weight would more realistically be with these parts?

I would think about... 8.3-8.4kg with the spec you listed. (Missed bashplate/ring, axle bolts/washers, rear sprocket, snail cams, rim tapes, no ti/alloy bolts, and you'd have to make the tyres completely slick to get them to that weight!)

Stuff from the list that could be lighter:

Onza Hognesium pedals : 374grams

meta TCS headset : 100grams

alu nipples : 30.grams

viz spokes : 200grams

try-allBrakes : 772grams

try-all foamgrips : 20.grams

echo isis BB : 278grams

Eno white industries freewheel : 199grams

Dob rims : 656grams

monty kamel brake rotors : 206grams

try-all NUC stem : 250grams

Is that crank weight right? Sounds horrendously light. Stuff like the chain and tubes wouldn't last all that long either I feel!

Making light bikes is fun :D

Lol yeah, oh well, I can buy new tubes, cranks weight from t-uk (sorry lol)

So what would be the lightest set-up i could get, and what would it be with good dual disc brakes and similar stuff?

Then i can see how much money im going to need to save up :lol:
