Willows Emonda SLR 9 H1 5.8kg - Full shots on Pg 3

[willowwonka]

Hi guys, i'm new to the forum and have recently purchased a used Trek Emonda SLR 9 frameset.

It is a 54cm H1 fit, and came complete with the Bontrager direct mounts and Tune seatmast.

I've had a few different bikes in the past and changed various components on them, but never done my own custom build from start to finish. This time I wanted to build up a climbing orientated bike. I also have a CAAD10 annodised build which i use for winter and maybe some crits next season.

I know this frameset is very light so what better place to show my progress than in a thread on Weight Weenies

Here are some photos i've taken (appologies need to sort my camera out) of a few different weights so far and existing parts i have ready to go on;





Frame + Forks + Trek Chain Catcher/Cage bolts/Cable entry guides + Cane Creek headset/Bearings + uncut steerer - 1.14kg





Arundel Mandible matte 3k weave cages pair - 56g



Enve top cap and expander - 42g



Front & Rear Bontrager direct mount calipers with grey Enve pads - 120g each





Ride Tune seatmast, seatclamp and rail clamp - 149g



I know the parts i've chosen aren't the lightest or most desirable but they're components and brands I liked the look of, and i'd like to leave areas to improve on weight in the future easily.

Heres a couple of shots with the cages, seat mast, rear brake and top cap fitted. I won't put the front calliper on yet as it catches on the fork until a cable is fitted.

Love the color and the geometry of the frame. What kind of components are you planning?

[willowwonka]

Thanks!

Going to go with eTap as the groupset, the new 2017 SLR10 looks awesome with it fitted and I really wanted to try an electronic groupset this time.

I also have some 1.25 enve tubulars with Chris King hubs to go on.

Wow this is looking great already. Love the colour, should be awesome when finished especially with etap

Thanks alot!

I'm really looking forward to trying out the eTap after only ever using mechanical groupsets in the past.

Here are the wheels which i'm going to be using;

Enve Classic 1.25 tubular with Chris King R45 hubs and brand new Continental Competition Pro LTD Tubs 25mm

Front - 789g
Rear - 910g
Skewers - 59g

Thanks Louis. It's my dream build too haha

Gonna be nice. Love the geometry of these frames. Conti Comp Pro Ltds... wish I could find some of these for myself. Really like the dotted tread of the Comps and would like to see how much of a difference the latex tube makes offer the regular Comps. Those direct mount Bontrager brakes do look a little like they were fashioned together in someone's workshop however. Looking forward to the build.

[willowwonka]

Cheers! Yeah I was very lucky to get a brand new pair from a local pro team who were having a big sale at the end of this season.

I see what you mean, I was hoping they were going to be lighter than they are as well. Maybe some direct mount EE callipers in the future.

[Fisherfreerider]

Looks good so far. Just an FYI that is just the regular mast cap, not the lightweight one.

[willowwonka]

Thanks a a lot! Yeah I did see, Triton cycles are selling the lightweight one for £90 with the seat clamp so may order that.

[FIJIGabe]

The lightweight seatmast only cuts about 10g off the standard mast. The carbon-only clamp makes up the bulk of the weight savings.

[willowwonka]

Oh that's good to know! maybe it's not worth forking out for the lightweight mast.

I might change the clamp on mine anyway.

Bars, stem and garmin mount are going to all be Enve components. Also the topcap and wheels will match too, so a full Enve white logo theme.



40cm wide bars, weight including bar ends - 199g



110mm stem with fixings - 128g



Garmin mount - 38g



I've also purchased the first part of my eTap groupset. I'm not going with the full package as i already have the direct mount brakes, and some cassettes.



Sram Red Exogram Carbon 172.5mm 52/36 - 593g





BB90 - 72g
