I rode them a long time ago, they flexing/moving as hell (weak alloy) - I know that they are strong enough for DH or anything else but they suck :D - I broke 5 alloy cranks and so I don't want to ride **** ;) - Leafcycles Motosticks are real stiff, strong, lite and especially made for MTB...
Got some good news - I'm under 10kg right now - Marzocchi axle still to come (will save more!)
Frame - blkmrkt Mob 2006 raw, thin colored
Fork - Rock Shox "Pevelation", Uppers from Revelation 426, Downside from Pike 454, Inside from Reba and Revelation Dual, 70mm travel, extra stiff
Handlebars...
don't think so...
fork is better than the Pike - it's harder, reacts better and of course fukkin liter! U-Turn always sucked me down a bit, I love the Dual Air system!
To save some weight I build my own fork - the "Pevelation"- a mix of Pike and Revelation. Saved 215g, my scale says now 10,1kg / 22,2lbs. Uppers and dual air system is from the Revelation, lowers are from the Pike. Motion Control is removed. 'll write an issue for Ride Lite soon!
I traveled all forks, real easy...most issues are also in english available:
