Thanks Daddy Yo Yo
I´ve seen them, they look nice.
But i´m thinking about the AX3000 right now

new parts would be
- AX3000 Brakes
- AX 25t Rims or 77 Composites Rims
- Extralite Cyber Front & Rear
- Superspokes
- Tufo <160 & <190 Tires

With the new parts the bike should have less than 3850g

If you want to make it much lighter,you should change wheels,you should save 250-300grams.

A friend of mine made this dropouts for me. Still need to clean them and cut them but they have 29g together for now.
That should be less than the aluminium dropouts in my frame. Will not change them right away as i wait for a friend to help me with this.
The plan is to even change the bottom braket at the frame, take out all the aluminium and rebuild it in carbon with a pressfit for the bearings of my Zipp cranks. All that together should save around 100g i guess.

nevertheless i am fan of bsa, i am reaĺly curious about the weight-saving by removing the aluminium-bsa-bb, especially concerning pure frame weight.

How does one go about removing the BB sleeve? Id love to see some photos of the process involved.
