Hey all. Welcome to my first build thread! It's only been a few months since I gathered all the tools and experience needed to do this on my own, and I thought what's a better way to start than with a true WW paint stripped addict cross frame? I stumbled on this thing for a great price and plan to build it up in the next month. Unfortunately, being a student, I have a pretty strict budget so weight is not going to be spectacular on this bike. Nevertheless, it's going to be a fun process. Here's the build list:

Frame & Fork: Scott Addict CX 54 cm and Ritchey CrossFork 1118 g + 510 g
Headset: FSA Orbit CX 96 g
Bar: FSA Wing Pro 40 cm 265 g
Bar Tape: ???
Stem: FSA OS-99 110 mm 123 g
Saddle: San Marco Concor 191 g
Seatpost: Ritchey wcs
Shifters Force/Rival
Crankset Sram force 10 speed 46/36 gxp 665 g
Bottom Bracket: Sram GXP 107g
Chain Shimano 5700 273 g
Front Derailleur: Sram Force 88 g
Rear Derailleur Sram Rival 186 g
Pedals: ???
Brakes: Avid Shorty Ultimate Cantilevers 260 g
Bottle Cages: ???
Wheelset: Ultegra 6700 road tubeless 1650 g claimed
Tires: Undecided Cross Tires (weight to come)
Cables &Housing: Sram (weights to come)

Total Weight: N/A

Weights? We want pictures too! I assume the frame weight is after paint stripped? Bring it on, no more teasing.

Yes, weight is after the paint was stripped. It includes the derailleur hanger, seat post collar, and bottle cage bolts. I was a bit disappointed since the claimed weight for this frame is a staggering 990 g (including paint!!!). I knew it was too good to be true. Updates coming soon.

Update: Most of drivetrain is installed. Unfortunately, the steerer came very short and I am currently searching for a new stem/fork. Any suggestions for stems with < 40 mm stack height would be very helpful. Apparently I also don't have a 31.6 mm seat post like I thought, and I'll have to purchase one soon.

Frame Weight with paint stripped, water bottle bolts, seatpost collar, and derailleur hanger - 1118 g:



Ritchey WCS carbon cross fork paint stripped - 510 g:



FSA Orbit CX headset with integrated canti cable hanger - 96 g



Sram Force Crank 46/36 (left a 6 g cover on) so it is really - 665 g:



Sram Force Braze-On FD - 88g:



Sram Rival RD - 186 g:



FSA OS-99 Stem - 123 g



FSA Wing Pro Bar 40 cm - 265 g

Looks great. A couple of things o keep in mind to drop some weight would be A Kalloy Uno Ultralight stem. My 100mm with titanium bolts viewtopic.php?f=3&t=116669

For wheels I use Stans Alpha 340 comps. 1500 grams for the pair and some great deals can be found on them.

Also for pedals look at Xpedo MF4-A I have them on my cross and fixie bikes. They use Shimano cleats but I really like the performance.

Tires need to be optimal for your riding surfaces so no recommendations. I use Michelin Mud 2 set up tubeless and work well on the terrain where I live.

Great project. I absolutely love my Addict Cx. It is a light crossframe w great handling.
