One of my WW friends started building a WW bike aiming at the sub-4kg goal.
He has gathered almost all the parts needed, and he's now waiting for the AX seatpost and crankset to be shipped. I estimate the final dry weight (w/o glue and air) of the bike to be around 3900gr.
Will post more details of the bike soon, so stay tuned!
Yet another sub-4kg bike

Exotic light parts are expensive. They are easy enough to look up yourself.
When you're doing some sortlike projects, money isn't the problem...

He has bought a storck fascenario 0.7 for the build but it turned out to be A LOT heavier than expected, 893 gr for the smallest size!

Sub 4kg is really impressive. Having a frame in the 700 gram range doesn't hurt the cause. Weightweenies needs more builds like this. It's fun to see.
