There are still a few things to do. I have a Ti spiderless single chainring to try, Scrub brake rotors, Maxis tyres, a toupe saddle, some modified skewers, lighter pedals, carbon seat clamp, lightweight expander nut, alloy valves, Ceramic BB and headset bearings, shorter steerer and remove spacer etc. I think that 16.00 Lbs is achievable and still be able to hammer it with confidence.
I also have the Rock shox XX fork for it in Niner green, these are being modified to accept the specialized brain damper.
Comments and advise are welcome
