Woah... missed that one.

If I met the rider of that i'd have to high-five them on the spot. I would, it'd be involuntary.

Read the thread carefully to avoid further foolish errors.

Foolish? harsh...

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..

I'll just leave this here...

I have, a number of times, I am far from up there with ultra-light super bikes, but have built a few very very light bikes, I currently have a Klein Attitude MTB at around 14lbs. That's fully geared not fixed or single speed.

Very nice.

Quite a big gear? Is it for the track?

Yeah. Belongs to Re-cycled I think.

I like that a lot. Looks like it was taken in Madison WI, which I also like a lot.

it's the yellow jersey store in mad wi. you are correct.

sorry to quote again, but i am in love with this bike.

me too....
me too.

it's cool, but the only thing i'd question for a full-service road bike is the lack of hoods. can't be much fun on his 100-miles rides, surely.

Can't be as bad as the bare metal brake levers they use in the past thought.

just like my old Raleigh Arena... they had those extra bits on them so you could operate them from the 'tops'.

i bet they'd be worth a mint now on fleabay... and those short mudguards.

Yeah. Belongs to Re-cycled I think.

correct, it is mine. And yes it is for the track. Its running 50/15, which feels quite a bit easier then i thought it would.

Need to get some fizik on the bars soon.
