New build (with pics)
I picked up this 2006 Cannondale Six13 on Craigslist for a great price and built it up using a combination of parts from another bike and spare parts I had lying around in the garage. Well, it is not really for me; it is actually for my brother. It turned out pretty nice, and it actually ended up weighing about a pound less than my own bike despite the "spare" parts thrown together. Anyways, here is a picture:
Here is the weight:
And a shot of my own bike for kicks:

MKS system is not stupid, IS is not stupid, american army forces uses metric system also, reason? decimal system is more accurate that's all. Multiply that number in Kilograms by 2.2 
Nice 16 pounds bike dude

1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pounds
7.85 x 2.20462262 = 17.3062876 pounds

Wrong. Accuracy is in the measuring device and the operator. The pyramids were build using cubits and they seemed to turn out all right. The main draw of decimal systems is that doing math is easier and it scales better. Your average Joe would spend 5 minutes adding 6 5/16" to 3' 3 3/8"; 16cm + 1m = 1.16m pretty quickly.

I can't say I haven't thought about keeping it and turning it into a race bike for myself... Instead, I told him he will have to let me borrow it for some races.
