I like it when I get to put this up "third time I think" Its totally custom built and weigh's 8.1kg or 17.8 pounds for you guys on the other side of the globe.
It has very low end brakes, with new one's and no bar ends it could go under 8kg but I'm very happy with it as is.
I do use cyclocross tires as well and its a very versatile bike.
justfitme I've got a late eighty's Raleigh MTB and love it actually I have lots of steel bikes, steel has good riding quality's.
