Total build came in at 6.8kg
Still need:
- lighter axles
- lighter seatpost
- a cockpit

Since you're only running the 11-30t, you can get a 9150 RD cage to replace the 9250 for a few gram savings in chain and cage.
IIRC, 5g saved on cage, should be ~2.5g for 1 link removed?

Maybe plead for Extralite to make you a 130 HyperStealth? Currently they only go up to 120. I can put in a Niu Ju order for integration of that too
91g vs 214g; 123g saved

EXS R175 sells for the same price new as you can sell the Aeroflys for.
168g (for my 36cm) vs 220g; 52g savings

EXS bar tape is ~25g all in, a 23g savings

K05Ti pads will save 12g

Hylix for post and TAs will be a 60g and 11g savings respectively.

288g saved! Should be under $300 to make those changes once you sell your old stuff.

Also the bike is hot as *f##k*

[robbosmans]

Thanks!
Hylix post and J&L axles are ordered. I would love to put an EXS Aerover on this thing, just waiting for my size to come in stock...
I'm having this custom painted over the winter so that should also shave some grams

Keep the paint, its so good

[reedplayer]

Yes, keep paint, looks great. Generally a very, very nice bike, so clean and consistent.

May i ask where you got the Farsports Feder wheelset? Farsports obviously does not offer the wheelset anymore, nevertheless i would be very interested in a 45mm rim version.
Thank you, regards

...and, last but not least, my personal experience, concerning acquisition of a new bar: Looking for a 36cm, I although lurked for the Aerover (...because it looks so slick ), but finally moved to the Farsports F1s. I can say, I am absolutely satisfied with it: Love the handling of the bar, the best i ever had-(... propably for shure a very individual matter ) and-pleasent side effect-although aesthethically, it goes way better with my bike than expected (in my opinion).

Finish is top notch.

Ah, thanks, sorry, my fault, just found the wheels on their second website, imo a very good offer:

I love this bike, congrats, Rob )

Nice color and weight. My matte black/gunmetal grey V4Rs weighed in at 7.57 kg. Though I wasn’t looking for super light components. My cockpit is the Colnago CC.01 integrated bar/stem.
