Hi, i just joined LFGSS after skimming through this thread. Seem to be talking bout allot of the stuff i considered when i was building my light but sturdy fixie.
For reference im over 100kg and don't ride smooth. I've broken all kinds of bikes/parts and this is my (just over 5kg) fixie.
Please excuse the FB links for photos, ill learn to embed by the time i post in the hello here are all my bikes thread (which one is that?).
Spec:
Frame and fork: DB 3Al 2.5V Ti of my own design
.
Wheels: Echo hubs (i know their not light but they are pretty),
ZTR olympic rims (32h),
cx-ray spokes,
alu nipples and conti GP supersonic tires 26 by 1.00 (sadly dont make these any more). Did have supersonic tubes aswell but being fat bastid led to pinching very quickly.
Drivetrain: FSA K-force cranks (broke the Tune fastfoots),
Tune Ti 36t chainring,
E-thirteen chainring bolts (tunes ones failed),
Salsa ring dinger (really annoys roadies seing that on the K-force)
Echo Ti 12t sprocket (seen you mention these but this is the proprietary splined one)
KMC X9Sl gold
Eggbeater stainless (had the Ti ones with matching red springs but they broke)
Tune Bobo headset
Syntace F99 stem (Ti bolts)
Random carbon headset spacers.
Schmolke TLO custom bar
Poshbikes nitrile grips
Tune speedneedle saddle (last gen before Tune took production in house, had a red one before that died in a crash)
Tune seatpost
Tune alu torx seat clamp
