I weighed my small/medium frame with RP23 before I built it up and it was 6.6 lbs. Not bad at all considering my Intense 5.5 frame weighed in at 6.5 lbs.
Ya...I've been getting a lot of flack about the build, actually. A buddy of mine said it was a little 'butterface'.
Didja notice the Thompson Masterpiece seat post, though?
The stem, the back tire, and the bar prolly account for 3 lbs of excess weight. I could prolly use it for a boat anchor when I buy some decent parts. I've also got a doubletrack front wheel and a mavic 729 36 spoke back wheel on it. Heavy duty.
My plan is to go all Nicole Ritchie on that bike and purge the weight when I find some good deals on tires on jensonusa or whatever discount shop I can find. I figure I can get it down a few pounds at least just by not reusing nasty parts from old bikes...
