Re:

Excellent articles but not the ultra light build I read about.It`s weight was definitely in the mid or so teens but what I distinctly remember were the kiddies plastic brake levers being used as they were the lightest available and the drilled mechs.By the looks of things it wasnt in MBUK.AAAARGH!

One of the lightest bikes I ever had a klein adroit with XTR and carbon parts and old Mavic SL rim brake wheels, it was about 21lbs - but it had very little stability and when it hit the mud it was all over the place, so it was not the panacea i had hoped for - I can't even recall who I sold it to?
