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) Part Brand Grams Frame Nashbar Nekkid 1600 Wheelset Custom 1659 Fork Nashbar Full Carbon 350 Crankset Sugino XD 578 Brakes Sram Apex 305 Seat Post KCNC TI Pro Lite 140 Handlebar Ravx Pace Haven 260 Seat Selle Flite Gel Flow 225 Stem Ravx Pace XRD 100 Handlebar Tape SRAM Supercork 30 Pedals Wellgo(WR-1) 218 Brake Lever Cane Creek 80 Chain Kmc(xl10) 200 Headset Cane Creek 88 Bottom Bracket IRD 255 Brake Cables Bell 100 Tires Michelin Lithion 460 Tubes Michelin 180 Freewheel Shimano 150 Seat Clamp Loaded X-lite 9 |
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?
|
|
|
wat is a kg even idk ha?
|
|
You mean look at those girls hold on tight while the driver gets dropped liked a 6 year old getting hit by Tyson.
|
The girl in pink totally gets knocked the **** out.
|
yeah, but we got to say she lasted longer than the driver! She at least hits 3 bumpers before she is knocked out.

At least the throttle shut off before the captain decided to take a nap

Frame advice?
|
For a sub 1kg frame?
um.... are you serious? |
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.

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?
