Frame Advice
 
I have been reading these forums forever and searching for advice on a frame solution for my current lightweight single-speed build. I am looking for a 1kg frame in order to replace the Nashbar Nekkid (1.6kg) frame in my current build. Anyone have any advice on such a frame?

Below is my current build (Currently 15.4lbs/7kg)

You do realise that a 1Kg frame is mad light don't you? You will have to pay a large sum of cash to get this sort of frame and it won't affect your ride whatsoever for something like 500gr.

If 1kg is not feasible...what about 1.1Kg? or 1.2kg?

You mean look at those girls hold on tight while the driver gets dropped liked a 6 year old getting hit by Tyson.

Scrodzilla 09-04-12 01:19 PM

The girl in pink totally gets knocked the **** out.

Crandrew 09-04-12 01:26 PM

yeah, but we got to say she lasted longer than the driver! She at least hits 3 bumpers before she is knocked out.

Is it just my eyes or is that "driver" not even real?

Just your eyes, the full gif has him fiddling with his sunglasses and what not.

Frame advice?

Nagrom_ 09-07-12 12:07 PM

For a sub 1kg frame?

um.... are you serious?

Crandrew 09-07-12 12:16 PM

Oh yes they are serious!!!

Supposedly the felt footprint has a 1082g carbon frame...according to the specs. If this is possible...I am sure there is a frame out there that I can purchase for a reasonable amount.

Yeah, and the complete bike weighs 18.71 lbs.

Is your 15 lb bike really too heavy? Just ride the damn thing.

So if I've got an opportunity to get a "might be" langster frame with carbon fork for $70. Think it's worth it?

ans136 09-07-12 01:57 PM

Scrodzilla 09-07-12 02:00 PM

No, we don't.
