Does anyone reckon....

I can make a carbon framed fixie under 4 kg in weight?

I may have a go over Xmas (with my alleged bonus!).

I will use my old Xero wheels (1.6kg), new carbon frame + fork (1.1kg), carbon bar + stem (600g). Will need a new crank, chain and bb - (500g?)

Thoughts?

Is this a pointless exercise...

a 9lb bike, bloody hell

Do it and show us the piccies.

An american frame builder, Nick Crumpton, built a fixie for hill climbs and it only weighed 3.25kg so 4kg should be 'doable'

Mind you don't blow away in a gust of wind on it!
