Slippery slope of weight calculation; I'd be surprised if it weighs less than 10kg even with a carbon fork.
Stay with the original plan of genesis I think.

Aye, not gonna be a weenie. Was just intrigued/bored. The 2016 equilibrium will weigh around 2.7kg I think so it'll be just over 10kg with that and headset and so on.
The straggler would make it around 10.5kg so not much difference but no carbon fork. I'm so impatient. The frame probably won't be released until December... Winter build... Haha

So I listed all the weights of everything going to this build (accept frame, fork and headset)
Groupset: 2770g (minus rim caliper plus spyres and rotors)
Wheels: 1965g
Tyres: 500g
Seatpost and saddle: 515g
Stem, bars and tape: 535g
Tyres and tubes: 680g
Pedals: 372g
Frame!?!?
Total: so far... 7337g
So without a frame it already weighs the same as my road bike. Mental.
I've been looking this morning at the surly straggler now that I know it's gonna be a heavy shit either way. Looks like it builds quite nicely. I can't see me being hindered by the difference between a 10kg build and an 11kg build really...
Any other suggestions for the frame? Suppose the equilibrium 631 is kinda back on the cards as well. Hmmm. Or do I wait... I'm kinda moving away from wanting to spend £550 on a year round frame..
