Why is right. Looks to me like someone with obsessive compulsive disorder forgot to take their medicine before building a bike...
Cool bike but at that point I would probably just go full rigid if I needed a sub 14lb bike.

It's lighter then alot of the SS on there! Would having a bike that weighs 13lbs even make a difference ina race though?

Is that V-Brakes on disc rims I see?
Seems to me whoever gets/rides this bike might as well give up and ride road.
