|   Ultimate racing bike..... | bigbon
Nov 2, 2001 7:30 PM | | I weigh 130 and when I get the money will build a new xc race weapon. I want the weight to be around 20 pounds. I dont want any euro stuff or crazy stuff on it. Need it to be durable. Please give me some feedback. Here is what im thinking so far. Any suggestions?
Custom Strong Cycles Scandium frame
Marzocchi Marathon fork
King/517 wheels
ritchey wcs stem.
easton carbon bar and post
xtr drivetrain
Time ATACs
Python air lights
Any thoughts or suggestions? |

Nov 5, 2001 2:42 PM | | Here is the bike I am building. SHould be just under to right about 20lbs. Of course you can use different frame/fork and other parts that weigh pretty similar. I am slightly lighter than you, and went just with parts with a nice balance of weight, dollars, and definitely reliability. No stupid parts, no sacrificing comfort or reliabiltiy so that I can brag on the "sunday morning ride"... just a super fast ride. Can't wait to get it on the damned trail!
