  • Bought the first on from here half a year ago, and got the second one from ebay few days before.
    I have decided to build them up, one will be a lightweight crit/hill racing bike, another one will be a daily commuter bike.
    Just make a part list and weight for both bike.
    Updated:
    New weight for both bike


  • And the Pinarello goes to me ;)

  • Steel is real, and I become a carbon slave.

  • Weight weenie. That is quite a task you.have set yourself. When you get the stem, for e.g. you might be always thinking, ah, I bet there is something lighter than this. Would it be possible for you to get to 5.5 kg on race bike without spending that much?

  • I probably should rephrase the title, not weight weenie but lightweight racing bike. For the cockpit, I avoid to use carbon parts, or like the crankset I rather stay with track one with 1/8 chain than a carbon road crankset with 3/32 chain.
    Most of the parts are like new second handed, it may not be that expensive as people think. So far I spent about 1600 on the race bike.
    5.5kg is achievable when this bike in "climbing mode".

  • That interests me the idea of Crit machine!
    Why to have chosen two seta?

  • I love my seta, and it's a good compromise that can be used to long miles and racing, but if i was building up a specific crit bike i don't know if it'd choose it, as it's not very stiff. Still a great light bike though.

  • Seta is always my dream machine when I start riding fixed gear.
    Saw the bargain deal on ebay, so I was thinking why not have two. :D

  • Yes, it is a bit flexy but responsive, should do well in hill climb and technical crit race. I think Parallex or new steel tubing like HSS spirit would feel better on riding a high constant speed.

  • there were lightweight setas some years ago on lfgss

    mine came easily down to 6.2 with heavy wheels, front brake and sram omnium in size 58

  • If I'd kept my Seta frame it would have been 5.3kg. You could easily get sub 5.5kg.

  • Just bought a ec90 fork, will get down to 5.7kg I think.
    Your vigo looks very nice, especially with the MofoXprez sticker. Want some more? :D

  • think my seta weighs in over 7kg. obviously not trying hard enough

  • Thanks. Definitely up for some more stickers! Got a couple off one of your guys who moved to Leicester.

  • He is studying in Falmouth now, pm me your address.

  • Not now, haha. And seems the bottom bracket is over tighten.

  • Daily Seta done

  • Get a fat black marker pen and paint rims braking surface, please.

  • looks fun as shit.
    not tempted to flip the stem?

  • This 30-40quids worth wheelset is surprisingly smooth as butter, may do that later.

  • Indeed, super fun when riding in traffic and climbing short hill. Just a more relax position for daily ride.

  • Bought a brake set for winter, superlightweight

  • Got the USE seatpost for Daily Dolan, shave off some weight Thanks @Dick

  • You're welcome @ccc092003 good to see you again mate! Catch up soon!
