However, I'd like to stick to reasonable parts that you'd want to ride and won't cause problems so no single chainrings, allen key skewers, thin tires, delicate wheels, ect. I'm even gonna try to avoid using Speedplay pedals
Besides the Beyond frame which is 2900g for XL, I know Paketa and Co-Motion claim to offer light frames but I couldn't find actual weights.
Still no update?

With all the "what does your tandem weigh" thread updates, I have been wondering when we will here from LelandJT and his extralight Santana Beyond...
