Fixed Super Light Super Safe

Brakes are too heavy. Brakless ftw

Hippy in talking sense shocker....

Vision will be heavier than your SRAM after you've added the adapter needed to fit it to normal bars. Vision bars are 22.2mm and their levers fit to the outside diameter, proper bars are 23.8mm.

i thought the syntace stratos 200 outside diameter is 22.2!?

Vision will be heavier than your SRAM after you've factored in Italian scales ..

Ftfy

Seriously, you need to either weigh each one in a friendly shop or find on-line, an independent source that has weighed the parts .. such as weight weenies or the light bikes forum in Germany .. before jumping in based on manufacturers published weights.

The Dolan website now seems to be working

Seta is priced at £600 and weighs in at 1.14kg

+£125 to get rid of the blue :/

Or give it to Dov with some sandpaper

I'm sure he doesn't do that stuff for fun.

I heard he'd packed in the painting business to do crabon repairs?

*awaits negative rep.

+£125 for a no paint job is hard to deal with

Meh.

Fine wet'n'dry, followed by rubbing paste, followed by clean, followed by epoxy clearcoat (from boat store).

Apply the clear coat after the comic sans 'WHEENIE-FIXIE' logos. Obviously.

What about your warrantees you reckless vandals?

Its a shame that you are such a short-arse Iain...will be selling my carbon Dolan soon.

Just seen this.. I did a similar process with my track bike http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=90731&hilit=Alien+track

Rest assured if it handles constant sprint use indoors under my 96kg frame it should be ok! I got bored in the end but things that were good included
Fibrelyte ring in carbon
Micro gears - use smaller ring/ sprocket to get same gear- debate chain efficiency for eternity but I never noticed it
Carbon drops- I used 33cm alpinas but wouldn't on the road!
If you use road cranks ( which I would doing it again) its easy to get 130mm singlespeed rings from ta, blackspire and others

For a mate doing national hill climb we once built a bike at work but for some reason he wanted to ride it 30miles each way to work too to get used to it. We just used an alloy track frame that was slightly too small for him, long stem and carbon post, bonty x lite road front wheel second hand and a kindling based rear wheel, stripped an slr saddle off eBay ( big weight and cash saving), carbon drops and hacked down record no shifter levers I think, plus he had some to spindles fitted to his speedplay pedals

If its a long ride bike is it worth thinking that track bikes generally don't have bottle mounts?

This is a cool project, I'm watching for the result!

interesting read

so far I already have a stripped SLR if thats the route I take.

You wouldn't notice it, but you can measure it. Going from 42/12 to 56/16 only saves 1-2W assuming a clean drivetrain, so it's way below the subjective perceptibility level.

That Alien is a weapon

What is the weight of the Alien Frame and forks Tallboy?

I love ghetto weightweenie.

Buy that full carbon C64 on here..

How much was the carbon chainring of yours?

How much was the carbon chainring of yours?

and tester, please inform us of how strong a carbon chainring is and if it could be put to daily use on a fixie skidder

btw found the prices- about £100.

Ummm

A little late hippy. You losing your touch.

Anyway, Im a little worried about riding carbon rails with my weight. Unless you can say you have one, then I will worry some more.

Why? You're the one who should be looking for this stuff. Come on, lift your game man! Buy buy buy!

5 pages and no frame... You're worse than spotter!
