Pasteys new Azonic Avenger W.I.P.

I know someone with a lime green 456 that has quite a few red parts on it, and it looks ace. As long as you keep the red parts fairly subtle(eg spoke nipples) it will probably look quite good.

best thing to do is slap it all together and see what happens, i will obviously change everything anyway during the few days i will have the bike. the gravity dropper post is a fair bit lighter than the ks on the azonic so realistically i reckon its going to weigh in at 26lbs give or take an ounce.

Hmm, the titus is about 27 atm, with a very light frame but slightly heavier components than you have on this.

the prophet frame weighs in at 6.5lbs the azonic just over to 7lbs !!! plus the 100 grams saved on the dropper post. the azonic weighs in at just under 29lbs so subtract nearly 3lbs from the current build and its about right. the azonic does have some silly light gear on it and the 1 X 10 set up loses lots of weight too. i know it will be under 27 but until built i wont know for sure.

Hey there, I have this frame aswell, getting it build up at the moment. Just a quick question. How do the Schwalbe Nobby Nics ride? Im thinking of getting them. I ride alot of hardpack trails, with rocks and some roots. What you think? Are they suitable?

pastey_boy

to be honest i prefer rocket rons to nobby's. much faster and just as grippy, having said that it depends on your weight i weigh between 17-18 stones and found the thin sdewalls folded on me, the snake skin casing remedies this. im in the process of rebuilding the azonic with mostly new bits. will post up pics when done.

I weigh between 11-12 stone, and have a maxxis minion dhf and high roller. They weigh just under 2.5 kilos (5.51lbs) together. Its ridiculous!
I'm also in the process of building up my azonic. Getting some of the new Shimano Saint m820 parts. Can't Wait!
