Total weight inc Cateye computer;) 13.8kg

Rides beautifully, loving my return to full suss...:smt109

Yes, I know it's too clean, and yes, feel free to laugh at my riser / barend combo...;)

grubby

Looks good

Looking good that, fantastic frames too (Not that I'm biased or anything )

How did you get it to weigh nearly 14kg though, mines around 12kg with a very similar spec.

the_lone_wolf

No idea where the weight is hidden, I doubt the bars/stem are the lightest, nor the pedals, but it climbs fine - could be my "bathroom scales, holding then not holding bike" maths wasn't 100% accurate... :oops:

Nipped off to the LBS to get some crimps for the gear cables via the byways and it rides beautifully, uphill gives more traction and downhill is like riding a cushion of air

Friend has a carbon hardtail that weighs in at something ridiculous, I'll trade the few kgs for the lack of arse pounding thanks...;)

the_lone_wolf

Nope, checked again just now and it's 13.6 measured after I chopped off the excess cabling...;)

I completely agree, hence getting a Specialized Enduro today :roll:
