hope this helps

That measured or manufacturer's quoted weights?

What size is the frame?

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 ?

Louis

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.

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