Spotted in Cov

Cheers man. Mine's gained some weight since I first put it together. I was sure it was down to ~8.0kg at one point. Now it's rocketed up to ~8.8kg. It's down to light brackets, computer, bigger chainring, more chain links, a bigger cog and these steel track drops which added about 400g from the alloy road drops. That said, there's no flex in them at all. They're amazing. Just super, super, heavy. The fact I run a brake brings the weight up a bit too.

i doubt its noticeable thou ? .8 of a grams not much to gain for the things you've added !!

It's noticeable when you pick it up!

haha, you need to starrd drilling it out !!

.8kg is almost a bag of sugar!

true, but spread out over a bike i wouldnt have thought it would make much difference, different people different techniques thou !

It's not THAT noticeable but it'd be better if it wasn't there :D

fair enough ! less weight is always an advantage especialy to a speedy machine

Might be getting a Planet X Model B wheel for the front. Will save over 250g on the Halo Aerorage I have right now. It's quick release so can't ride it on the track. Hopefully getting it dirt cheap though so who cares!

Haha the glory of having useful mates!

Spotted a white Graeme Weigh track frame locked up outside the Tesco on Leamington Parade this morning. I didn't get a chance to look close. Anyone?

quick spot, white frame to blue in the middle, looked like a brown brooks. From Albany road to town jumping every light...

^i seen a sky blue eddy merckx fixed outside the oak near campbell yesterday

About 4 kids (mid teens they looked like) on Leamington Road, all on brightly coloured "fixies", though they were stopped on the pavement. No foot retention that I could see, so more likely single speed (I hope!)

saw a chap riding out of leamington today on a black SE Lager today was raining to, not very nice to ride in

Saw one today, dark colour, ball hanging from rear of saddle, city centre.
