2010 Kuota Kharma Race budget build
Moderators: MrCurrieinahurry, maxim809, Moderator Team
Here are some pictures and weights of my Kuota Kharma budget build, sourced mainly from Ebay. Not the lightest frame at 1350g, but I managed to get it down a little bit. My goal was to get the bike under 7000g. The last thing to come on was the new Easton EC90 Aero bars.
When I got the frame, it looked like the frame was built up but I don't think it was ever ridden. I thought I was getting a medium, but turned out to be a large. Oh well, love the looks of the Kharma. I am using a 90mm stem and it is very comfortable. Here is the build list and costs vs retail.

Really like the look of this but not a fan of the cages.....but who am I to cast judgement. it's your steed. How does it ride mate?
Hey cool, my Kharma is around 7kg as well.
Unfortunately I find the shallow wheels and skinny fork aren't the best match for the beefy frame, but the bike sure rides nicely, doesn't it.
