:facepalm: Im lost to how you made that assumption, when the Mag review demonstrates it is possible, with a Kestrel and was done back in the day and on display at a bike show on scales. :?

How is that pissing on the OPs parade, i would think if offers nothing but enthusiasm and encouragement for the project..

I thought the same.... though it also stole his thunder somewhat

I dont see why it would steal anyones thunder, people have been chasing the sub 20lb barrier for a mountain bike for nearly 30 years. its nothing new, but it is possible...!

An what better way to contribute to a thread, than post a relevant retro extract from a retro magazine of the bikes time...? , and with one that is on topic for the actual thread with the right bike.

No parade or thunder to steal, I’m not worried. I know that it’s possible, I also know that Jimi911 did a thorough build of a CSX and didn’t quite get sub 20lb. He knows what he’s doing so it’s obviously not that easy. Either way it’ll be a fun build with some nice kit coming.

And if your other builds are anything to go by, it will be no less than exceptional...!

Thanks, that’s really kind. I just like the process of putting together interesting bikes.
