World's lightest dutch style city bike?
Ok this was for fun. My girlfriend wanted an upright city bike style and I had some leftovers and didn't want it to be one of those 30+ lb junkers that would be a pain to haul around.
Breezer Beltway frame - only ~1400 grams, could not find a carbon step through frame but impressed with the weight of this one
Exotic carbon fork, alu steerer 770 g
Pacenti TL 29 rims, Sapim Race spokes, alu nipples, BHS 72 POE hubs cheap and light and durable 1400 g or so
Thunderburt on the rear, 575 g
Conti Race King front ~ 580 g
Kalloy Uno 7 120mm 117 g
Deore level hydraulic brakes
KCNC ti pedals 150g/pair
Sunlite Santa Cruz alu cruiserbars. These are quite light, but these dorks don't publish weights that I can find
Ashima rotors 180 and 160 mm, 91g and 116g
Old school square taper XT level cranks with hollow ti spiindle
That's what i threw together. I even ripped the cover off an old cushy Schwinn saddle and glued it onto an old normal saddle with carbon rails. Alas, kind of disappointing final total weight of 24.2 lbs. I thought it would be lighter, things like the handlebars and cranks are heavy. Curious of others who have ventured into trying to get a lightweight city bike going on.
