Is that frame made by whoever makes Sette frames? Looks identical to my phantom!

 

[erkan]

Looks like the infamous eBay china frame

The pink water bottle cage bolts add weight.

Probably. I heard the same factory makes a large variety of brands with minor variations.

 

[Cheers!]

Very nice!

too bad you got rid of the Kona...

How much does the raceface bar weigh? How wide is it?

 

[dovitskycsu12]

dt swiss carbon fork, will shed some weight.

The RF bar was/is the same as my old EC90 bar @ 99g. It's the same width as well at
21" if memory serves. It's been a good bar with no issues and great shock absorption, IMO.

Cool to see there are still some hardcore v-brake users !:thumbsup:

What's the weight and setback off your seat post ?

I'm not sure on setback, but probably about 1cm or so. 182g on the post.

If it was me I would ditch the Nobby Nic and
go with something else.

Best, John

I'd say change bars to Schmolke and the seatpost to an ax lightness Daedalus. Should be pretty close to your goal.

Drop the shock and get a White Brothers Rock Solid. Weighs just 1.6 lbs! Drop the big ring and rear cassette, both dr's and go SS. Bike should come down to close to 14lbs! Sorry, I just had to throw that out there. I am running SS but have a steel frame (mass produced, over the counter, GT Peace chromo frame) but have managed to get the whole bike down to 20.46 lbs. Not bad for what it is but still no where near where so of you guys are with fully geared rides. Can't believe how much some of the carbon seats are running! Good Lord!

 

[amillmtb]

and the seatpost to an ax lightness Daedalus.

If his goal is having carbon break and being hospitalized, then yes it should be pretty close to his goal...

 

[byknuts]

if the frame's susp-corrected for 100mm fork then just buy the niner carbon fork.
550 grams.
at 465mm A2C it's the same length as my marz 100mm gran fondo.
have one on my explosif (NOT WW build but fun fork!)

Any suggestions?
2010 Sid Team
Schwalbe Nobby Nic 2.1 front

Rocket Ron for no loss in performance.

WOuld have suggested Durin SL, but I do not think they make it with V-brake. Are your canti studs titanium?

Take stickers off the rims and fork. That's several grams.

Can you shave off the disk brake mounts from frame and fork? Should be good for like 20g at least.

Interesting. But 80mm. Maybe with a flipped stem and Rocket Ron 2.25" for a slightly taller front - and maybe about the same weight as 2.1" NN (depending on version of NN).

i bought the last 100mm durin sl in white from universalcycles
