Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Glenn R

I'm new to the forums here. I have a 2001 Lemond Poprad that I had my LBS build up for me. I have since changed out a few components to get the weight down. Mine is all 105 components except for an Ultegra BB. I put a Cinelli Salida stem on it, Bontrager Race Lite bar, Thomson Elite seatpost, Matrix/105 rims w/Conti Ultra 2000s, and Performance Ti pedals. That shaved off about 3lbs right there. The only thing I can think of doing now is replacing the heavy skewers I have, and those Avid Shorty 8s sure do look good.
I ride mostly on the road, but I have a nice set of Performance Cross-X tires I can slap on for off-roading which I do occasionally (Spring and Fall).
I hope I can learn a few things here, and maybe even help a few people out.
