I'm at least now sub 23lbs... 22.86 :D

I'd need to spend too much to go much lower right now... just dropped major coin on an XG999 and some cleansweep X's... ;)







EDIT: some ESI grips, a 160mm front rotor and revised chainstay wrap... now down to 22.48lbs (getting closer to sub 22! :D)
 
Well... I built 'er up tonight...

I tried... but alas, final build is 23.47 lbs (10.65kg)... (although seat and seatpost clamp are not final - waiting on those (white Rocket V Team and Kohosis 17g non-QR clamp)... should save me another 90 grams)

I guess I failed to account for my overkill chainstay protector ;)

Anyways... I'm super stoked on it!! Took it for a shakedown around the neighborhood... Riding it tomorrow for sure! :D Can't wait!!

EDIT: now at least sub-23 :D





 
As I'm putting my Air 9 together... sadly I will be closer to 23lbs... accounting for things like 100g of Stans (2 scoops) per tire... ugh!!!!! :(

Fork also came in a bit heavier than expected... (1760 vs 1690)... things like that... I just hope to be *in* the 22's... even if it's 22.95 :D
 
I've got a build in the works - with a spreadsheet estimate of 22.2 lbs - so I highly doubt I'll be sub 22, but who knows. Will report once built up.


cheers
