tubeless and with Ti spring? b/c without a tubeless setup, im the lightest i can really go.
do you remember what your frame weighed?
Ti spring only saved me .37 lbs. I shed the weight with I9's which are setup tubeless, 2011 formula ones, twenty6 pedals, SRAM 10sp red cassette and a lot of Ti bolts. You could still drop 2 lbs off your big if you wanted to. My frame with ccdb and 400lbs steel spring was 11.36lbs; exactly the same as my m6. I run tubless with rim strips so it doesn't save me ANY weight compared to running 200 gram tubes. If anything it is heavier since I run about 3 cups of stans.
i dont see 2lbs coming off the bike easily unless i run a full tubeless setup...though the new Formula Ones will save a 1/2lb over my current setup
i havent weighed my wheels and rotors separately yet, but the rest of the bike is 32.84.
oh well, im perfectly happy with my "heavy" beast

most of my weight is in the wheels, Kings laced to 823s but the guy I bought them off of drilled out the 823s for schrader. F/Wicked Will 2.5 R/HR 2.5 with FR tubes. 8" G3 rotors
Small Black chrome frame is 11.56 with CCDB 350 steel spring, axle
Twenty6 seat clamp, I-beam alum cut to 8", I-fly saddle
Saint brakes and 165 cranks, E-Thirteen 36t, Lg-1+, Canfield Cramptons
2010 Boxxer Team, Point One DM stem, CroMag OSX black chrome bars, X.O shifter, X.O ss der, 11-28 SLX cassette, PC991 cross step chain
Intense lock-ons, Twenty6 gascaps
Waiting on Ti spring and Avy cartridge
Probably will rebuild the wheels with 729s or just sell them but what wheelset to go with?
I would be happy at 40lbs instead of close to 42lbs

42 seems heavy, especially with parts that are probably lighter than some of the stuff i have...and on a small frame none the less
yeah I was really shocked when I weighed it. I can't figure out where the weight is besides the wheels, tubes and front tire.
If I switch brakes to Codes or Formulas I could save a little more weight but the money isn't there.
Any suggestions?
i geeked out and weighed sh!t since i had nothing better to do. 
like i said, brakes are the only new thing im getting. i dont see myself changing wheels since the setup has been super dependable (knock on wood)

I hope you don't get offended, but everyone else seems to have a similar setup as you and are under 40lbs. Your build sounds sick.... have you tried weighing it with another scale?
just for you, Intense stuffed lead fishing weights in your chainstay. check there.
Yeah man, it's a 3k frame...you're allowed fudge the numbers a bit
Those bastards! It's a sick frame,I am going to take it into work and weight it. I thought my park scale was accurate.
Ok so I weighed it again at work still with steel spring and stock Boxxer team.
41.24lbs a little better then the close to 42 on my scale. Still a pig for a small frame. Going to switch to regular tubes instead of the FR tubes. Hopefully they hold up fine with the HighRoller 2.5 rear and 2.5 Wicked Will front. Probably going back to a 2.5 DHF 3c front until I find something else

^you can still take a pound off with a different set of hoops, alloy nips, DB spokes. And still have a bomber wheel...but that's if I were building em'
i am thinking 721s or EQ31s. not too keen on ally nips or db on a dh wheelset. then again my current spokes are db^you can still take a pound off with a different set of hoops, alloy nips, DB spokes. And still have a bomber wheel...but that's if I were building em'
Ok Ti spring, Avy cart, regular tubes, Thompson Master Piece w/SLR M9 now weighs 40.03. I am very happy with that weight. Eventually different hoops and some ti bits should be able to get it sub 39.
Now to get rid of all this snow......

whats up with the yellow swingarm?
It was posted on their FB page as Kobe's bike as a joke. That is why the yellow swingarm is on there
i saw it on there, but who the hell is Kobe?
Type of beef
Kobe Bryant.. laker's colors are purple and yellow..
i figured it was Bryant, but forgot that was their colors.....im obviously not a golfer
Now I have to order the rest of the parts.
Opening day needs to get here faster.
