That's an awesome saddle bench . Is that in your home? Or at a shop?

This is work :)

Without Shock/rear axle but with all the bits and screws.

1301g

then it is about selecting the appropriate shock.
Who's got some suggestions, any thoughts?

The geekiests of you will notice the special fiber it is made of, T1100.

That's also what I have in mind, X313 carbon without remote can be as light as 160/170g, with a few mounting stuff... therefor we should be under 1500g for a complete Full suspension frame, with a little luck.

Some pictures taken real quick yesterday. Raw studio light does not hide anything from the crafmanship with the T1100 fiber.... Green stickers are not intended to last, they'll be swapped to chrome orange ones soon. Orange is lighter right ?

Looks amazing.
And orange stickers will make it faster as well. :)

What is your goal regarding total weight?

Should be easy, unless you put heavy AXS or similar on. My FS would be about 8kg with such a frame/shock, and way below that with a 32SC.
