This is a strange project....vintage/custom...
Only the frame is old, was build in 1996 here in Italy and with 1375 grams was one the first and lighter carbon fibre monocoque frames.
I assembled this frame with extreme components like a show bike but I've used it during my summer vacation in the Alps (Dolomiti) and all worked fine.
Now the bike has a little upgrades due to the pics :
- a shorter stem (110 mm works better with my setup)
- Aerolite titanium pedals (only for road use)
- No headset expander and top cap
I know that I can save more weight with other upgrades (alu cassette, clavicula crank, a lighter seatpost etc.) but the target was to go under 6 kg and I'm already happy with the result
