well the spring is coming, time to put the bike together
. but before that i thought i'll weigh the components ww style (still plenty of scope for weight reduction if i decide to). i'll weigh few remaining odds'n'sods when i'm assembling the bike, but so far the list goes:
frame 1203g
fork (uncut) 371g
rear wheel 32h 736g
front wheel 32h 698g
axle bolts+washers 48g
chainset 52t+guard 928g
bottom bracket 94g
pedals 257g
freewheel 20t 224g
brake levers 222g
stem 122g/173g
handlebars 199g
h. tape+plugs 60g
gel inserts (drops) 28g
saddle 143g
seatpost 224g
seatpost clamp 21g
chain 285g
brakes 208g
headset 58g
tyres pro3 2x215g
inner tubes latex 2x79g
the whole bike should come to around 7.2kg, and i'm especially happy about the wheels which turned out lighter than (my benchmark) ksyrium sl's, i hope with more spokes they will be just as stiff, therefore great for climbing. only a pity that they need tyre levers to (dis)mount the tyres - but i can live with that.
next little project - to devise a custom toolkit for this bike
