The weight is well below UCI limits. UCI rules state a minimal weight for bikes used in competition.

Not at all, although I would agree a bike in this weight range is going to be very user (and use) specific with parts tuned to the rider weight and riding style - I know that this very bike gets ridden on regular 100 mile rides and is as problem free as any other high end bike.

Another much more interesting piece of weight-weenie history is that I designed that (now tired looking) 'Light-Bikes' logo back in 2001 for the princely sum of a Syntace F99 stem.

Your right in that a bike must meet the basic requirements of being robust enough for regular use - luckily this bike meets that requirement - he could have gone lighter with stuff but this has been built to be used on the road rather than exhibited as an exercise in light weight bike building.

I bow to Tynan, for he is the weeniest of all the WWs. I find this stuff very interesting.
Tynan, have you ever done a silly-light build of any kind? i know you must have done..
