Wow, that is light Typo :roll: Now edited to 250g

Loving that! That's 7lbs lighter than my alu XTC!

Always fancied one of these! Never took the plunge though. Very nice!
Are you running 80mm Sids?

Yes, SIDs are set to 80mm.

Bloody hell i thought my stumpy was quite light :shock:

Syntace stem doesn't work though - heard it's only worth £15

You'll get on really well with the Maguras. Super light forks and super stiff. Aren't the frames not ment to take 100mm?

I'm sure they'd be fine with either I prefer the quicker steering with 80 and not bothered for 100mm of travel
