I,ve cheated a bit tho'. 2010 Race xlt forks, 2010 bsd race stem, S&M pro race bars.
Ultimate Hardware Freecoaster doesn't wiegh as much as what you might think (might be cos 10mm).
All ready for Corby 15th jan

nice, those 1piece must be weighing u down
sick ride tho
-
Like what you've done with the stickers dude... :daumenhoch:
Mines around 30lbs i'm guessing, never bothered weighing it, my son comments on it weighing a ton, told him to ride it for a couple of sessions it'll put some meat on yer arms... :LolLolLolLol:
Saw your comments on another thread about the tanwall tyres weighing a ton, totally agree, tried em myself on my new school bike didn't last long felt awful with em on, gone back to KHE's
-
Haha yes matey them ody Tanwalls seem like there made of granite, look nice but proper affect your bike. are you on about those KHE Kevlar tyres? always fancied a pair.
The crank is A hollow SR jobbie its light but twisted as fck. I look like the guitar player out of Fine Young Cannibals when I pedal it fast.Haha.
Going to make sure I go to the next Blackpool do, pictures look mint.
Keep the Faith.L

Yeah the kevlar beaded KHE's, i use the mac2 street versions, grippy as feck and roll forever
Rotating mass and all that, its the best way of shedding weight from any bike
Was talking to someone last week that rides for KHE and told him to get em to make tanwalls, they're already on it apparently
Another downside to tanwalls if you grind ledges/rails the sides soon turn get shit up and turn black... :(
Gonna book another sesh soon at Blackpool, hopefully late jan, early feb... :daumenhoch:
-
Yeh Those KHE's would be the one's in tanwall.
Forgot to say I got the downtube Stickers from the main man Del. I just cut them out one night (after me other half made me stay in) and put them on at angles, the sort of thing we all did BITD.
Defo gonna make Blackpool, I reckon them new Seafront walls could be rideable too.

just weighed the PRIMO viking seatpost clamp.
Not as heavy as I thought, 121 Grams.
Aaaarrrgh! I'm becoming obsessed by weight.
Haha
-
Ok Ok
My mate Just told me newschool seat clamps weigh about 20 grams so maybe it is a bit weighty.
.L
-
^20 grams is heavy! ;D
Also the classic BITD mod for the Primo Viking was to cut it in half. Two clamps for the price of one!
-
must have missed this one!
funky :smitten:
