The bike weighs 19.24 lbs on the shops scale. I am hoping that some decent wheels could lighten this bike by at least 1lb. Or am I being to optimistic?
With a better crank I could be on a 17lb bike. This bike is on sale for $1300 Canadian. Decent deal?
Price seems fair. You could get it down closer to under 18lbs with some new light wheels and a Sram force crankset (SISL would be best). New seatpost/seat could drop some more weight as both are relatively heavy and somewhat cheap to replace.
