RobRook Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Need to pop into town to a bike shop to find out the official real-world weight. But I made an Excel sheet that had all the parts, prices and weights listed. That said it'll weigh 8.53kg approx. So will see tomorrow.. Off to work now, parts list later.

RobRook Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Thanks Laurence & Andrew I'm really enjoying the bike so far. And it's unbelievable how easy it is to throw about; the frame alone only weighs 1.291Kg, thats approximately 600g less than my old Zoo Python 09 frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRook Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 an excel sheet? thats taking weight too far? jus ride it cos its mint Oh I didn't do it to get the lightest bike possible Prior to ordering anything for a new builds I make an Excel sheet with 5 columns, and weight is one of them so I can get a rough idea of the final weight. For Example Part____|____Choice____|_____Option_____|___Price___|___Weight___| Forks___ __V!Z Light 20"___ _Disc only, Black___ _£121.53___ __0.729Kg___ I shall be abusing it today if it doesn't tip it down with rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
