Hillclimb Bikes

I'm pregnant. Give me a break.

I'm not and I'm still going to give him grief for posting that bike in this thread. The OP made it very clear what the ethos behind the thread was, and shit MTBs don't fit that. So don't fucking post them.

Boo hoo

Thanks for a solid on-topic interjection.

Love her head band game too.

Stitched together:

Those are some funny looking cranks!

:-)

Always thought the PX Nanolight would make a good base for cheap hillclimb bike...

Joscelin Lowden's I believe?

Berk saddle/post?

Looks better fixed

Bit disappointing that after putting in all of that effort and research to build 'the perfect hillclimb bike', his conclusion is that gears are better. Could have tried riding fixed first before commissioning a custom race bike!

Spoilers!

brake blocks could be filed down a bit

need to lose some grams but not sure where.. reluctant to buy a set of chinese carbon tubs just for a few HC's

ive got a sram force 22 groupset knocking about, might fit that, should be lighter than ultegra?

Wheels and cranks probably biggest bits, that a power meter? Switch it out for racing?
Lose FD and a chainring?

Almost 200g to be saved by switching to Veloflex Record or Conti Supersonic. PX brakes are lighter than Ultegra.

Depends how much effort you're willing to invest in butchering you drivetrain. Single ring etc. Cutting drops off...

cant see PX brakes on their site anymore :(

might buy some second hand bars to hack, full carbon saddle

Chinese carbon saddle is the cheapest / easiest weight loss.

Bottle cages, bolts, lights (obvs)

4.9kg

Proper job. Well, apart from the clinchers ;)
