Canardweb Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 So after seeing Stan and Cap's video, I decided to change bike so I could have a bit more amusement riding my bike. My goal was to make it as light as possible without buying new parts and having the best parts I had on this bike. So I started making the frame lighter by making a big square hole in the back of BB Yoke and some holes on its side, making the hole in the head tube bigger and treating the frame in the company where I made my work placement some years ago. This treatment consists of putting the frame in a bath of Nitric Acid and then in some water (3 different baths) to give it a shiny look. So here is the reseult with Try-Hole No War rims, Try-All front hub, Bonz Rear hub, Sapim Spokes, Kenda Nevegal rear and Maxxis Exception Series High Roller front tires, Double HS33 with TNN LGV pads, Try-All (Cr-Mo steerer) forxx forks, Echo SL headset, Trialtech stem, Try-All No War carbon handlebars, Try-All cranks, Trialtech Half bashring and Echo SL freewheel. I have no idea what the weight is but it is seriously light! Tell me what you think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewEH1 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Zip-ties are lighter.... Looks light, see you have attacked your levers as well. Not sure why you have the frame treated though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
