Well I have been on this forum off and on for a couple of years and had a few bikes since then.

I recently had a Dahon Jetstream P8 but althought it was great I was fascinated with the Reach and managed to get hold of probably one of the very few Special Edition Scandium framesets in the UK (100 worldwide), so I had to sell the Dahon and get the Pacific as a stable mate to my beach cruiser.

Its all done now but wasnt sure which part of the forum I can join, since this is more like a Mini-Velo I guess but has the same frame size as a normal folder, so now this is the closest forum I could join up with as it has 20'' wheels.

I love it, built to my choice, but it rides amazingly well and I love the fact is it so light and quick

Here is most of the spec and some pics, I hope you like it:

That is one pimp bike.
How much does it weigh?
Did you manage to weigh the frameset?

Thanks, I like it and am glad I got it done the way I wanted it. I could have gotten a new SL out the box but wanted to get my own built. Since I already had the Kinetix wheelset that I was going to put on the Jetstream, I am glad I could put them on this bike instead, because even with the Kinetix on the Jetstream, it would still have been a pretty heavy bike.

I didnt weigh the frameset but the whole bike is 9.5 kg (about 21lbs). I could get it a bit lighter with a different saddle and pedals but I was going for a certain look as well as lightness and quality parts so I am pretty happy with it.

I dont think there is anything I would change on it, maybe a more comfy saddle but I have had the saddle about a year and I really need to start using it and wear it in, but it is taking a while, typical issue with the Brooks Team Pro I am told :-).
