Weight matters diddly to it. The skinny cogs do suck tho, I have to get a SA 1/8 cog on it.

The bikes in this thread are pretty out of the box for sure.

Disc brakes on a curved fork, OP ??
I hope you aren't considering a cartridge headset. They didn't pan out for me at all, it's an 1 1/8 threaded however.
