I just got a woodman seatpost clamp. I got the non ti bolt one and its 12.5 in my scale and was only $15 shipped. You can do the Ti bolt one for a bit more money and save a couple more grams.

The saetpost clamp is 31.8 and luckily i found a KCNC clamp in black at a shop. That saved me some 10 grams. The idea that a seat clamp bolt could be alloy never realy came in my head. It stikes me as madness, but if the folks over at KCNC chose to spec it, it has to work.
The wheels for this bike will be my Roues Artisanales by Adrien. And i hope to see some Reynolds assault clinchers on the horizon. The hubs in the wheels that Adrien made for me were about 5 years in use and never have had their bearings replaced. I've done that and documented every step. I'll post about thst soon.
The complete weight of the bike is a bit over 6.9 i'm struggling to find the last few grams without giving up my alloy handlebar.

Buildlist to follow soon!

Nice build! Maybe I didn't read it but why don't you have the new Red Shifters?

How tight those Tune's gages are? Looks pretty good and would use them on my cx bike so tightness would be great.

Btw nice bike. Even those green tires don't look bad on it.

Thanks for the positive comments guys!

The reason that I still ride with the old red shifters is quite easy; the other parts were due for replacement earlier, or I found a deal I couldn't pass on them. The shifters still work and I'm still on the ancient 10 speed.
The bike weights 6.75 kilo's as it stands, but without Garmin. All the bolts on the frame have been replaced with either Alloy or Ti versions. Even the bolts that hold the cable guides in place.

Can't wait to get my hands on a set of Reynolds wheels.

Bravo, Frankie!
Elegantly understated and purpose built.
Adrien's wheels are a very nice touch.

verry nice compleet build.
The reason I would change the stem and crankset is because we are weightweenies.
Most carbon stems incl this one are heavier than the aluminun ones and also the crankset is not one of the lightest.
