My first post here I think. Been reading this forum a lot figuring out what parts to get for my new build.
This is a Santa Cruz Highball Carbon frame, '14.
Overall weight is just under 9 kilos / 19.8 Lbs.
I may be able to shave some more weight off, but want to keep it a strong build (so, for example, I am resisting putting Furious Freds on it!)
You can read more at my blog http://niksbikingblog.blogspot.co.uk/20 ... build.html
Any comments or ideas for further weight reduction are most welcome!
