I just a got a new frame custom built for me from a chap called Jeff from www.kiwibikes.co.nz It is built with Columbus Zona Cromolly tubing and weighs around 1800grams.
I have just built the bike up with bits from my old 05 Giant XTC2, but I am not as happy with the overal weight as I thought I would be.
I am thinking that perhaps the wheelset may be a bit too heavy but am not sure what to replace it with and will I loose any weight on replacing other parts.
Just wondering what you guy/gals thoughts on what I can do
my spec list is
Custom Zona Columbus Tubing Frame
05 Rockshox Reba Race 85mm
Easton EA50 bars, seatpost and stem
Juicy 5 Disks
Deore Hubs on Mavic 117 rims
XT Hollowtech 2 cranks
Sram PG950 cassette, X9 shifters and rear deraileur
Deore front deraileur
XTR cables
and a picture Here
ps I weigh around 80kgs
ps i don't want to spend lots of money
