If it really is 14lbs then all credit to the bloke. Have to say I've seen 'lighter looking' builds which weigh more.

On a shallow note, don't like the paint job, love the doggy though :)

He's got the frame at 1309g and the rims at 748g.

Something doesn't add up there to me.

In reality, that build would weigh 23/24lbs.

Rims look about right according to Weight Weenies: http://weightweenies.starbike.com/listings.php, not sure about the frame though.

Even if it's a couple of pound out it's still very light, I'm not sure how puncture proof <300g tyres will be though, probably not very. Just put a pair of Schwalbe Marathon's on my "road MTB", they're about 950g each, about 4lbs for the pair in old money.
