Quite like it, still have a few plans for it, will be changing the forks as well as the crank for something different, saddle seems a bit odd. Looking for lighter wheels as well as tubes. Still waiting for bottle cage and bottle

Very light and only a couple of hundred grams heavier than my Madone! Good work.

haf1zur

Hopefully i can reduce a bit more weight with a new fork

haf1zur

Slightly better picture

napoleond

Good work!

No way it only weighs 7.5kg though...

haf1zur

Not any more it doesn't, not with the bottle and lights

The frame weighs 890grams and going by individual weights of components its around there

napoleond

The wheels/tyres/tubes/cassette/skewers will be approx 3kg
The crankset and BB will be about 900g, that's more than half the weight already!

More likely about 8.5-9. Not that it matters...

haf1zur

sounds about right from what i just weighed on bathroom scales without the bottle

78.1kg me on my own
86.5kg me and the bike

Not the best measuring method , however the bike looks great and really unique. The saddle sure does look like it weighs a ton though

Great fun...could this be the start of an aero backlash?!?

315grams according to my kitchen scales, which is a ton in comparison

Surely this is the ultimate flat bar

Is that yours?

Been thinking about mirrors today, have to turn around to see who's chasing me

haf1zur

Should be halving the weight of the saddle today with a selle italia saddle, hopefully it helps in my sore bum issue that i have been having

Also continental supersonic tubes, are they really 50g each?

That's rubbish, where's the kickstand? ;-)

Love the way that looks. So simple, yet I'm sure a cracking bike to ride aswell! No need for bright colours or crazy graphics!

Do we think Wiggo with his mod/scooter leanings, will get Brailsford to agree to mirrors like that on his Dogma?

Thanks, been out on it every day since I finished it, so far loving every pedal

Have a few more changes planned but nothing drastic

haf1zur

So now swapped back to the 105 brake calipers for the front as new fork came in, weighed half the weight at 410 grams after cutting some of the steerer off

Oh, and red valve caps to finish it off nicely

haf1zur

Some new changes, ready for the Winter
