Here is my 2002 Magnesium Litech Hardtail which I use since 2 months:

TOTAL WEIGHT: 7584 g
16,7 lbs

All Parts weighed on a Digi Scale.

I use this combo for training in dry conditions.

For mud and wet conditions and races, I use my Tune MIG/75 MAG215 Wheelset with Mavic X517 Ceramic Rims, Conti Explorer Supersonic Tires, Mounty Steel Axles and the Mounty Bottle Cage (36 g)
TOTAL WEIGHT: 7903 g | 17.4 lbs

I think this should be a good Lightweight combo for CC and Marathon races.

For hillclimb races is use the Steinbach fork (580 g),
Conti Twister Supersonic tires (320/325 g), and the Inferno Al cassette 12-23 (113 g incl. Al lockring)
TOTAL WEIGHT: 7017 g | 15.45 lbs

For hillclimb I could use some lighter Parts (Kooka Lever, Grip Shift, Titec Proks Rinds) (Total Weight 6850 g) but I would not change parts while 1 hour.

I've ridden the ITM RoadStem now for 1500km without troubles, I think for a 140 lbs rider should not be a problem.

I like the Magnesium frame which feels great.

Sorry Quality of the Pic is not good :-(
