    27lbs without tyres?
    I thought it would have been lighter

    Pending wot tyres are used these are 140mm travel
    You mean Depending? I see. "Pending tyres" means, "yet to have tyres put on"

    I've decided you're a bit of a simpleton so i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and just humour you from now on.

    Can you learn to use quotes properly, that's a mess!

    You've really changed EVERYTHING? I really really doubt it.......

    Only thing that remains is the rear shock

    So you've changed the frame? Wheels, discs, brakes, headset, BB, cranks, top cap, forks, pedals, brake adaptors and bolts, gear cables, shifters, mechs, and cable guides, headset spacers, stem, bars, mech hanger and bolt, pivot bearings and bushes and bolts, seatpost and clamp, QR's? (I've ignored the obvious by the way).

    By the way, when you do quote, don't delete any of the words quote or their brackets or the / in the brackets then it works!

    No need to be quite so pedantic, cable guides, mech hanger, pivot bearings are part of the frame! I think it was a perfectly reasonable statement meaning except the frame and shock!

    Maybe - but 'upgraded' mech hangers and cable guides are available, and I swopped the hanger bolt from steel to ally to save weight (and it kept going rusty!), but originally he had changed the frame (everything except the RP23), that's now changed, spent a lot (not changed quite everything, but I'll grant most stuff) and doesn't seemed to have saved much weight.

    I think the atrocious English and inability to use quotes is putting a lot of people offside.

    Well upgraded everything to me excludes the frame. The frame is the bike, changing that makes it a different bike. Technically by that logic I'm riding a 2006 S-Works hardtail or a 2005 Titus Racer-X, but I've upgraded the frame 6 times so it's now a Top Fuel, there's been some common parts each time. I'd not say I ride an S-Works hardtail or a Racer-X though!

    You can't do the hanger bolt on these, it's held in by the ABP nut. Upgraded cable guides? They're welded to the frame, how does that work?

    This has went right off the original topic now.

    Beginner as for quotes I've changed the viewing preferences on the iPad should work now.

    As for upgraded parts The stock trek came with bonty finishing kit
    I've changed every component on the frame apart from the rp23
    So u could say its a custom frame build.

    Very possible! A friend has the exact same frame, SID World Cups, XTR, FSA carbon chainset, Bonty wheels etc and his is 24.5lbs, so mine's at least 4.5lbs lighter than his, whatever the actual figure :-)

    Think mine was 22.4 out of the box, no pedals, so managed to drop quite a chunk.

    The 1200g wheels and the 1x10 go a long way to help.
