Surly karate monkey 12.2kg single speed disgracefully :oops:
Hopefully drop a big chunk of weight off her so that when she gets gears the weight doesn't go above what it is now.

:grin:

I'd banned myself from ever looking at that site again but might make an exception.

Couple more days and I'll be alowed to do full strips and rebuilds of all 3 bikes

With me in the UK is an early 1990's Cadex CFM3 composite. 2006 XT group set except for rear deraileur (2012 XT w/ no clutch) and hubs (LX). Mavic 217 rims, SID Team forks, Thomson stem/post, Easton Monkey Lite bars, Fizik Aliante Twinflex saddle, WTB Nanos. ~9.5Kg unloaded.

Awaiting my return to the US is a stock 2013 Trek Superfly AL Elite 29er with a few mods. Weighs in around ~11Kg.

Revelate luggage (bar harness, feed bag, gas tank, jerry can, viscacha). No frame bag for easier HAB and 2 bottle cages. Luggage and Egg Beater triple Ti's move between bikes.

Scott scale 960 29er Alu. Approx 12.5kg. Could probably lose a kilo straight off it with a better suspension fork.

Does bamboo count as wood, even though technically it's grass? :geek:

Maybe it should just be "organic" to cover all the bases.

Are you going to be generating some data visualisation for all this data you're collecting?

With a bit of searching around I reckon I could get about 2.2Kg off in weight but it would cost quite a bit. Might be easier to cut out the pies :roll:

Haven't looked at lighter wheels/tyres but I think I'd rather stick with something that can last.

Titanium over 11.5kg here, on a 29er+ Hardtail, weight not helped by a Rohloff hub, Surly inner tubes, 45mm wide rims, brooks saddle and Jones H Bars, but it's not built for light weight it's built for comfort and low maintenance
