Definitely. You said you didn't have any. Obviously, you do. "those are just caps"
I don't know what you are trying to say, but you sure don't know how to read.

I agree, that's why I got the drop buster chain. I'm not sacrificing strength for weight. I'm 6'2", 180lb. The bike (so far) does well, minimal flex and it feels well balanced. I tried the Kuwahara Laserlites and the front end felt wayyy too light. This one feels right.
I could careless really but the guy at my track with a 2 foot scar up his stomach from a broken chain at the gate might suggest a stronger rather than lighter chain.
my frame is 5oz. lighter than his and my forks are 1.6oz lighter,brakes are lighter, my cranks are shorter,
tires are lighter, rims lighter, not sure about the hubs but I'm sure with Ti cassette, but maybe his cog is lighter.my seat post is chopped.
I don't have bar ends.
I just don't see how he could get it down 2 pounds. jealous, no I would like to see it. I can tell we have similar thoughts and dollars when it come to building a bike and I love his bike think it the Tits.
but to build a pro xl or larger to hold up a bigger guy lighter than 20lbs I want to see it done.
Hey Vert1go I'm not dissing you, I respect you, I'm just curious.
so if you think I'm a dick my apologies.

has a 1664 seat (I think, I'm not 100% sure of the brand), and a Odyssey linear brake cable (not in pics). the rest is stock. best bike I ever got for under $100, mods included. not bad for a guy that only makes 200 bucks a year, huh?

Thanks. I forgot the make of the seat. my other has a 1664, and I bought both at the same place, so I thought it would be safe to assume that one was 1664
