Hi thebatman,

to weightweenies.

Nice rig you got there. seems ...eeeerrrh, light !!!

Along the way, you forgot to mention a few parts... (tubes, handlebar tape and plugs, headset, cables and housings, fork expander and top cap, etc...)...
150g for a Ritchey Comp bar ? Really ?
1100g for the frameset (including fork) ? really ?

if that bike weighs less than 8kgs i would be amazed.... sorry, but as already said, your numbers just don't add up at all.

lovely bike though... a really good strong budget build on a really good frame. well done.

[fivethirtyonepm]

okay... maybe that's a bit harsh... but i still reckon 7.7kgs at the very lightest

...and I would have expected "the batman" to be riding a black stealth rig.
So dissapointing.
Bike looks solid. Nice job.
