Hi guys
Since I torn apart Storck and basicly building new bike... I´d like to have it in separate topic and think it deserves it! (please don´t kill me if you don´t think so ) ... what I get in my hands is fres and awesome brazed 56 size FORT road frame from Columbus Ultrafoco tubing... with headset it has 1745g... it all started as just change the old frame for new one and rebuilding it on the same parts.. but as you know... you start with something on your ming and it turns into something else in just few seconds ... so I have this idiotic idea to get it under 7kg and I hope I can make it ) .. build list is below.. I´m basicly waiting for new wheels and than it should be done.. for few weeks at least

Not exactly pure Weightweenie.... but still crazy enought to hunt every possible gram (used to be, but still like reasonably light bikes )

Gee I'm sorry Wingnut and tjk----to be clear I was referring to the decals on an original Easton SLX fork and not to the bike decals.
Easton kind of made a mess of those decals and I can't see them being attractive on any bike---much less my own.

New seatpost finally home KCNC Ti Pro lite 27.2 ... all together with speedneedle 248g (I will maybe cut few grams off after final fitment ) .. goal to get this baby to 6.9kg seems to be achievable
