Unpopular opinion brofist, I agree with you.

You can also probably buy a second hand <7kg bike for £1500??

Caad9/10 with Sram and carbon tubs. Maybe 7.5kg.

Aluminium fixed gear with mid level components

7kgTarmac cages and pedals in
almost for all 700€

Oh sure, but I bet that custom bend seatpost cost a mint.

The only cheap way to go sub-7 is bargainous used carbon tubs, light saddle and cages, and questionable Chinese finishing kit.

6.8kg with SRAM Rival 11

Doubt it, cheap 6,6kg roadbike with NO carbon parts or tubs:

(cool Specialized though)

Still my fav <3

I'll take your word for it but colour me skeptical about your scales.

Rad frame though. Love a javelin.

That spacer stack must be worth 50g ;)

That dude's blog is awesome.

6,6kg

It’s child’s size? That’s cheating ;-)

Shit photo but did a crap rush rattlecan on the Donohue and my mate cut me some vinyl.

Want to get it powder coated gloss metallic black next year I reckon, or deep purple, will see how the shit rattle can holds up. What a waste of time and money compared to getting it coated tho.

Shit photos and stem needs lowered.

Oof, are those lever internals standard? I'm looking for exactly that for something else

I saw this and thought of you.

Haha, yeah, retrofitting that would take it from amateur to pro-level bodge. I might have a look in a hardware store and see if I can make the same thing up out of countersunk bolts and such

Unsure if factory built, hard to know but it's a very professional job. I was looking for years. I got them from this site. Not cheap 200 euro.

Looks like you did a decent job! I sort of miss the tasteless 90s tribal though.

Speaking of tasteless 90s Donohues, if anybody is selling some wide as fuck 26mm (or 25.4mm at a push) risers, ideally silver, shoot me a message!

My caad 8 is like 7.2 with wide alu wheels and has cost me well under fifteen hundred.
