No water bottles? No spare tubes, no pump. Only one brake? Perhaps no helmet, no socks, no clothes at all.
Go super weight weenie and just convert the bike to singlespeed. Don't forget to order the Supersize Diet Coke.
It is just a challenge really.......However I will not go as far as you suggest with the no clothes, single speed (that base is covered), spares and what not. And I certainly won't be drinking or eatin' any "diet" anything! I work and play hard with a fast metabolism so I'll eat what I please!
I only weigh a buck 45 soaking wet.....
I don't have a sub 20 pound geared road bike and I don't like new stuff so........C&V it is! Kinda. My cranks are Toplines (probably early 90's).
