2015 Tarmac Pro - 6.7 kg or less

[tonytourist]

I sold my Parlee and swapped parts over to this build. Thanks go out to 3delis, dudemanppl, SLCBrandon and kfreytag.
Frameset was in rough shape when I got it, so I had no choice but to strip the paint off This was over 100g of paint removed, I unfortunately didn't remove the BB or get a fork weight prior to stripping it.

I really like the build list on this. Very nice.
How do you like the bars?

[tonytourist]

Thanks!
The bars are nice, no complaints from me.
Here is a picture when I had 6870 on my Z5.

Nice one! How did you stripped off the paint? And how much time it took?

[VTR1000SP2]

Turned out looking great. I'd be curious to know if you used a chemical stripper or... And what did you do after the paint was stripped, any sealing/coating?

The CCUs suit that frame perfectly. I've got to imagine they drop a couple hundred grams off overall bike weight, too.

Sweet Ride !

Love Tarmac's and CCU's so I love this.

@gangbang @VTR I channeled my inner prendrefred and artray/xena and went to town with a razor blade. However, that was not working fast enough on the frame, so I used a paint stripper and a dremel with a sanding bit. The finish definitely isn't perfect, but it works for now. While I do have plans to get it painted, I'll have to see when I have some free time to get it taken apart and done.
@kfreytag, it was nice meeting you and your Parlee is even nicer in person! The CCUs are awesome, I should have weighed them to get an exact weight difference, but I imagine the bike with the CCUs on is roughly 250g lighter, which would put it somewhere near 6.5 kg? Not a bad weight to me!
@SLCBrandon, thanks again for your help, much appreciated!

You're ate up

[tonytourist]

I'll loan you some real Mavics so your pig can be lighter!

Cheers for the reply!

This one deserves a bit more attention, although it is missing a bit of a build story as well. Great looking machine. I love the idea of stripping it when the paint looks rough.

Great job!

I believe the bike's already changed shoes since the CCUs. Nes pas?

[IamnotWiggins]

I like both versions of this - painted & naked. Win/win!
