Light(ish)weight Pompetamine

Pompetamine is the way forward. Also the Hope hubs are pure win. Neither are going to win any weight weenie contests but if you build a decent bike around them, I promise you won't care!

You may well be right Chris. I've no doubt the Pompetamine is a great frame, and the costs savings may well enable equal or greater savings in weight by affording lighter components elsewhere. It's not quite the holy grail I was looking for, but it may be the best starting point.

A couple of other options I've stumbled across are below. Nothing that ticks all the boxes, but just for the sake of completeness:

Like I say, nnone are quite what I'm after, so I've also enquired about the wait of this frame: http://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/m4b274s212p9323/ALL_CITY_Nature_Boy_Zona_LTD_Frameset and willsee if there's an option to upgrade the forks.

Thanks again for all the help.
