Always been intrigued by folding bikes, and now that it’s got colder, obviously it’s now that I decide I’m going to commute into work.
No showers at work, and don’t want to leave it outside, so fairly slow commute, after which the bike will be stored in the office.
10.8kg in current form, can’t be having that!
Have some fairly light components to put on, so after strip and rebuild, hope it will end up closer to 8kg.
Wheels are I think 36 spoke beasts with marathons, so will likely change for 32 spoke open pros with gator skins, save about 1kg.
Fork is cromoly and around 1.2kg, so swap to a carbon fork and drop around 700g.
Swap stem, put drop bar and cross top lever, take the rear one off and keep it fixed.
