Identifying frame size & getting weight down

AW79

Evening All,

I have a Devinci Ollie 2007 model frame size M i believe. However, how can I confirm this, is there a marking on the frame somewhere or can I measure it some way to tell?

Also, how can I get the bike to lose weight, It has all original components, e.g. daredevil bars, hubs, essentially this spec:

Many Thanks

The PDF you've linked to shows all the measurements you need to identify the frame size. As for reducing weight... Pretty much everything on there will be big and heavy, but the only way to confirm this is to weigh (or find weights for) each part. Then, figure out what can be replaced easily within your budget, and go for lighter versions. Bear in mind though, assuming you're using the bike for its intended purpose, strength is likely to be more important than weight.

What do you plan to do with it?

They are 40lbs plus, so will never be a lightweight.

Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't realised the info was there already! I plan to eventually when my fitness on the bike is up again do some XC and downhill riding, I would to take it to the trails centres in Gwynedd/Denbighshire/Conwy, antur stiniog for example so a bit of both really. Are you saying due to the frame/fork weight that whatever could be saved on components is negligible in the scheme of things? Thanks again for any help

XC on that? Forget lighter parts, go and by a £100 Carrera off eBay and it would be better, that is never ever going to be an XC bike.

It's also no good for trail centres, not too bad at Antur but still much more than you need. Yo have the wrong bike.
