Totally possible scenario. All depends what scales they were and what weight they are rated to etc etc.0 -
Of course it is, and I don't for a second doubt that he's weighed it at 18lbs whatever, as I've said, repeatedly!
He'd only be a liar if he'd never weighed the bike, and then came on shouting about how much it weighed! No idea why I'm justifying myself. We should go for a ride, I'll weigh it, then he can thrash me up hill and down dale and I'll be quiet!0 -
the point is . he has set out to build a superlight bike and has suceeded so weight is a massive factor. if weight didnt matter then he would have stuck an xt cassette on and x9 gear instead of x0.andy46 wrote:Pudseyp wrote:What's all the hang up about weight ??? take Jessica Simpson..her weight fluctuates all the time....but I would knob her fat or thin..

On the Whiskey, Yeehaa?
Either way, TBC has made an amazing bike, to what spec HE wanted, he's weighed it, that's good enough for me.0 -
whiskey? Nah, this is normal for me.
CWNT, that's genius 0 -
if your going to call someone a knob then please give me an explanation? you seem to be the jealous one when looking back through this thread. you slag a top of the range trek off because the owner dared to speak his mind. if you believe someone to be wrong do you offer to correct them or let a bunch of argument mongers reinforce the error until everyone is convinced that wrong is right ????Viner Salviati

Right.
What the fark did your link have to do with the thread starter's bike?
You've obviously taken issue with his claimed weight, otherwise you would not have posted what you had.
YOU are resurrecting a dead thread, for the sake of casting more doubts on this guy's bike.
WHY?
Presumably because you are knob who is jealous of his bike.
Is that a concise enough answer for you?0 -
if you can read, look back on this thread i have made many positive comments about this bike, so not the actions of a jealous man. and im not casting any doubts on his frame/bike, i as others have done am simply putting his claimed weight into perspective. if i put a pic of my speedo up on here claiming id hit 135mph on my bike im very sure i would be quickly corrected, but with your mentality i would instead get a few mates to to back me up thus giving me the impression im correct. if you makes claims that people do not agree with then it will always raise questions. this is not a bad thing. its human nature.Viner Salviati

Everyone take it easy... 8)
It is what it is, a bike, albeit one that a lot of effort has gone into.
If you don't believe it weighs what I said, forget about it, I really couldn't be bothered with this anymore.
I hope you enjoy my build, as much as I do.
Let it rest now, its my bike, there are no others like it, this is my bike......
Did I mention my BFe weighs about 37lb.... guess what?
I don't care 0 -

But are we really going to have this argument again!?
You really are a boring man.0 -

You really are a boring man.
Why do you say that? Of all the posts you could've chosen to exhibit my boringness that strikes me as a pretty poor one! I've never claimed to be exciting, I'm happy with being boring.0 -
I do love that frame, nearly as much as those sids, couldn't find any in blue =(0

You didn't look very hard did you!
