Well, i had to change a few parts, and really it weighs more like 8.3 with the pedals - so dead on 8-ish a little tubby for my liking, but upgrades will be happening as and when the bargains appear

I'm fairly happy wit the weight at the moment. over time ill upgrade the brakes to some cnc stuff and put some rival or force on it. can't really run ten speed yet cause the mechs etc are 8 speed.

Ignore the saddle to bar drop - Im leaving it high for now so I only ever move it down. Don't wanna show any scratches. Nearly there, could finish it if i had the lever boss cover for the down tube shifter.

What group is this? Record? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Campagnolo-8-Speed-Rear-Derailleur-Front-Mech-Campy-Campag-/221046426156?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item337764ca2c#ht_500wt_1201 Thank you!

164mm threaded or the appropriate length over that to fit a stem thread less.

thanks otherself - ill keep those things in mind if i want to upgrade. my bars were a tenner as opposed to 68 quid, so i'll take the 40g hit there like the look of those ebay brakes tough.

no-one?

no worries - thought you had bought it but were just using the same pictures. My bad.

nice bike - i was thinking of buying it from where i assume you got it from.

I've picked some heavy tyres accidentally - wanted to use a free gatorskin i have, then bought an ultra race for the other one. Got light tubes (not latex) Yep, the forks have a steel steerer - its very short though - maybe too short to use. I weighed them myself to get that weight. I'll...

frame cost me 40 quid posted to my house so i want to use it - as i don't think its that much of an anchor any suggestions? I'm having a hard time finding quills listed with weights.

I'm 6'2'' and 65kg so i am not planning on losing weight - rather gaining a stone or so. The miles are spread over a week, and based on the london to (almost) southampton i did on my fixed gear this thursday it should be manageable. The weight obsessiveness of this bike is mostly to annoy my...

Getting there - I've been shaving bits off and swapping bits on the OP list so that is the accurate estimate. Should be at 8.5kg with tyres and tubes - still a bit heavier than I would like.

still looking

no-one got one going spare? i just want to build my bike!
