craigjames Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thats pretty damn nice, weight does surprise me a little, cant see where the extra weight has come from? Pedals, forks? about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Bloody hell, Steve! That's so nice. Your DOB rode SO well, is this any better? What the weight difference between the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason222 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Wow, that looks amazing! Way nicer than I expected! Mad props dude! OH, and I thought I'd mention that your FANS weighs the exact same as my DOB 26" bike did! Same frame as the one you broke too.

flatpro Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 really a sweet ride!!!! If my frame wasn't almost new, I would go for a fans as well! btw. I'd be happy if my bike was only 9.56kg!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Looks awesome dude The weight looks about right to me, people always underestimate the weights of their bikes!! Any sub-10kg stock bike is light... +1, 9.5 kg is light, yet you're not compromising the bike. You may be able to save a few mor grams on tyres, but why bother. Great looking bike!

Gandalf the Yellow Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Bloody hell, Steve! That's so nice. Your DOB rode SO well, is this any better? What the weight difference between the two? thanks ben! dob was an amazing ride. this is 150g lighter than my dob. so pretty happy with that! you need to come MK again sometime. Like most people have said....seems very heavy Lush looking build though, like it very much i think for those who thinks its heavy, firstly i don't think they've been able to weigh their bikes properly, so their perception on weight is very wrong in the first place.. i think people will be surprised at their own bike weights if everyone have a chance to use a digital bike scale. i've built the bike to my spec, all the spec is what i want without compromising the strength, so in my opinion 9.56kg is very good. i will admit its not the lightest i want it to be, but that is certainly not what i want to achieve. thank you so much for the positive comment guys, i wish i can get a decent place where the quality of the pics are rapped by facebook. steve p.s. your average mod weighs about 9.5kg, so think again.

Alex Dark Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 It wasn't a criticism....just saying it seems relatively heavy compared to the weights of some other bikes banded about on here My coust seems to weigh in at 10.6kgs although I can't really see what could be causing that.
