I'm starting this thread because I'm on a quest to make my custom Ti cross bike as light as possible without compromising performance. I've been crawling Weight Weenies (http://weightweenies.starbike.com) and meticulously weighing each part while disassembling my bike. So far it's been interesting. Has anyone else done something similar? Any hardcore weight weenies? My DeSalvo is a 55cm traditional frame and weighs about 1530g w/brake studs. I'll post all of my part questions in here instead of creating new threads.
Does anyone on here race cross with a carbon bar/stem? Do they hold up to the abuse as good as aluminum?
