ZHI_Chris Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) After 3 month negotiation, the dob manager made a custom frame for me. 1077, 380, 35, 72, 135 vertical 1.4kg That's the ideal frame for me, the full bike is 8.25kg. DOB may produce this frame in the future, it also mean that magnesium custom frames are available. Some main points to save weight: Monty grips, 50g lighter than echo grips. Ti wellgo pedals, 300g. crank brother headset, 65g trial tech stem with ti bolts, 145g neco 128mm ti BB with alloy bolts, 230g DOB frame and fork, 1.4kg and 670g schwalbe big betty rear tyre, 2.4, 850g The bike was 8.25kg, but now it is 8.28kg. Because the tryall crank(right side) was broken yesterday, and i am using zhi crank at the moment. Change the chains can save 50g, as I know, monty chain is the lightest.
