Jake. Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Very nice, I'm guessing 8.1kg. I know you're going for lightness, but I'd change those forks asap if I was you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsquirt Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 really nice, what stem is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nztrials Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Thanks for all the positive comments guys I love the bike too, I'm aware of how weak the forks are, however the only ones I can get here in nz are echo urbans. The brake is the goods! Now I've fixed up the leaks I found in it. I previously had a Rockman forged stem on it with my old frame and it always felt too low so I put this one on to try it and for me it feels much better. Yeah mark is right the ti fittings are Ellen ones from Amas wong. Weighed the cranks myself at 331g however they are very flexy and I'm unsure how well they are going to last. I have always set my front brakes up with the lever way out, feels good to me. There are two ktms there, one is dads 350 and the other is my 250xc. The stem is a try all 3d forged 20" one. The front disc was a bit of a lightweight project of mine too, including disc and all bolts it weighs 325g I have run that disc for over a year now it is 99g and I have no problems with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
