First step was to replace the actually-quite-good-but-incredibly-heavy suspension forks with some carbon (albeit alu steerer) forks from Exotic. This saved literally 2kg, which will nearly but not quite make up for the weight of the kid seat.
Of course on a build like this weight doesn't matter really but I do want to be able to lift it up so I'm happy with that.
Post fork change that gets us here. A handy, capable bike considering it was only £500 brand new a few years ago but of course hideously ugly. Paint job and decals probably the most offensively ugly bit -trying desperately to appeal to the 13 year old boy market I think.
