Eh, not too bad.

Thanks , Forgot to add, weighing in at 21.00 lb, could easily get her under 20, but finances are tight!

njee20

but finances are tight!

Hence the £1000 forks :-)

Looks good, like those 2011 Scales.

Tonyp_iom

Heh :-) i got a mega deal on them and sold my own ones, the joys of working in a bike shop

i do love the scale. thought about a 29r for a while but road and anthem one and didnt like it.

adb1006

Very nice mate, like it. What do think of the fork? Worth the extra over a SID World Cup? Certainly looks the part 8)

njee20

Lighter than the SID, but shocking durability, hope you're good at servicing forks!

Tonyp_iom

Forks feel the smoothiest and best lockout forks ive ever had we have a pair in stock if your interested

adb1006

Yeah sure, i'll give you £400

Tonyp_iom

Have you seen the newest ones? 200 hour service life. not only that but fixed all the issues from the previous models like no flex.

adb1006

They are lovely, no doubting that. Not sure i could justify that price for a fork though

njee20

Fair enough - the stantions didn't last that long on last years ones! Be good if they did work that well, they certainly look good!

So do I! but.... I have a slightly scratched Richey Carbon 3K one now..... the question is do I save weight and sacrific on looks slightly?? or wait and save for a beautiful Richey Carbon UD

But then.. I would like a Selle Italia SLR Carbonio Flow... would save 100grams but not sure if my bum would take it! lol.

But again..... yes but lol I have some new magura mt8's coming for a friend.... if they are as nice as they look and they would look good on my bike so do I save for them! ohhh the dilemas lol.

I've got an SLR XP and it's not as bad as it looks - i do fancy a Carbonio but something makes me nervous of those carbon rails.

Neither - get a New Ultimate, vastly lighter for similar money.

Tonyp_iom

Who makes the Ultimate? Can't see anything with richey for ultimate.

Just ordering some Cobalt grips save 40g heh

njee20

No, different brand 'New Ultimate', far lighter than Ritchey, they do a 34.9. Not cheap, buy from Europe and it's cheaper than the UK.

Tonyp_iom

Weighed her last week with her new richie carbon seatpost colbat grips and bottle cage on... coming in at a happy 20.12lb
