Think it was from a company called Sunset MTB, but loads of places will have it in when the new one comes out."The problem was, I was still using my eyes even though I had them shut"

Ok so earlier on I mentioned that before I got it I was worried about the Crush's climbing ability because it might weigh a fair bit. Just bought some semi-slicks for the old Diamondback's commuting duty and took the opportunity to weigh the pair of them:
Diamondback M40 2005, 15" frame, 80mm travel forks, cable v-brakes, 27 speed (now 3 speed due to a knackered shifter), stock except for cheap nasty semi-slick tyres and flat pedals that came with the Orange:
...............15kg (33lb!!!!!1111one11!!!!!!!!!!!!) I actually thought it was quite light but back when I were a lad everything was made of hi-tensile steel so everything feels light to me.
Orange Crush 2009, 17" frame, 140mm travel forks, hydraulic discs, 18 speed, stock except for V8 pedals:
...............13kg (28.5lb)
Now the bathroom scales I was using probably aren't that accurate so the absolute weights may be a bit off, but there's no denying that's a fair bit of weight saving between the two! Just shows the difference between spending £250 and spending £1050!"The problem was, I was still using my eyes even though I had them shut"
