Is this designed for the same fork?
I was faced with the difficult choice between weight and frame stiffness. I was very concerned that I would end up with a frame that is too flexible to be able to ride hard, so I chose to err on the side of caution and spec'ed thick-walled tubes for the main tubes. So from my weight calculations the tubing alone is about 1.8kg. The welds will add some so I expect 2kg or more.
The dropouts/track ends are quite pointy.
The fork geometry is the same as the stock Xootr fork but I ordered a nice Ti fork, plus Ti seatpost and Ti stem/riser.
