FRANKENKLEIN 20lb ss project

[kaiser]

Looking good, tell me the weight whilst good still seems a wee bit heavy for the build specs. Do you think there is anything thats particularly lumpy?

Nice stubsy, I've done a similar thing with my 'dale, it gives the bike a different angle in your collection....nice job!....

Well done on your first build!, when I built my FSR (my first build) the sense of achievement is great!.

I love the colour and I love the bike!. Simples

it does look great. it screams "ride me"!

 

[stinus]

looks great! the P-bone is perfect for the frame..

but why the chain tensioner, doesn't the Klein have horizontal dropouts?

the tires are wire bead so i could lose a big chunk of weight off them and the seat post weighs about 330 grams :shock: it is made of very thick carbon fibre but came free with the frame so i recon i could save about 1 lb just changing those bits.

i will get around to losing more weight but have just started a stumpie m2 singlespeed build that should weigh in at 15.6 lb so all my efforts are being directed at that at the moment.

cheers

the pulse frame has vertical drop outs so i had to use a tensioner as i couldn't find the magic ratio for the chain to run without one.

it rides fantastically and is great for urban hacking around on

i love it but i think you guys will like my next build even more here is the plan

15.6lb.......that ia obscene :shock: :shock:

i thought you would like it MM

That is if my maths is right :roll: I could get it 1/2 lb lighter but it would cost to much and lose everyday sturdiness

it doesnt make that much difference with my large frame on top of it all
