that's indeed pushing the envelope, wow. a dream concept. must feel like an elven horse with those herse slicks...
launchpadboi-
I did a few big pass descents, no shimmy at all.
The bike actually feels quite planted. I think we got the geometry spot on, with a low bottom bracket and a good front/rear weight distribution.The frame actually weighs a bit more that the number @Hulsroy had - I think 1400g were for tubes only. Still, we're at a very respectable 1815g finished with a heavy, multiple-coats powdercoating. (and 930g for the painted fork).
Pish
It is soooo light. Also its right on the edge in terms of being strong enough. But I trust it will hold!
28.6mm Zona top tube and Zona chainstays. Both sqeeeezed to perfection. The rest is Spirit. Head tube is as light as it comes with tiny reinforcement rings. Wishbone is my skinniest T45 option with a custom piece to make them take the wider mudguards. The wishbone came out lighter than the equivalent ordinary seat stays.
Frame weighs 1400g and forks 900g. Insane for a steel disc frameset imo.
