Dunkers big bad build thread

[jimihendrix]

The bike i'm using for Dunkers is around 25lb, rider is about a stone overweight, at the rate i'm going that could be a stone and a half by the end of January, will have a big dump on the morning of the 30th which will shed a pound or two but may bring a cake for lunch which will add a pound or two on

I've spent the last week living off meat and chocolate, watching movies and playing games, stone and a half at least for me, I'm relying on no money to buy food at the end of the month to lose weight

but on a bit too

so lightweight bikes and heavyweight riders, should be fun, prize for the first bike to break

Random musings from the FAT camp...

- I wish I had a drill press. Even a vice would be nice.
- After hacksawing and drilling my Surly tensioner, I've saved 5g. Rapidly coming to the conclusion this may not be worth the effort. And it looks like shite.
- Some random weights... Forks plus crown race = 732g. Frame plus headset plus BB = 2,386g.
- Spreadsheet reckons bike weighed just over 23lbs previously (which doesn't tie in with the bathroom scales 22.3lbs weight from earlier). I reckon I'm looking at 19-19.5 lbs for the weenie build.

i'm off work another week , if you want to use my cave i've got grinders , drills , a vice ect and pretty much every tool you could ever need for a bike + some big hammers

I'll have gears , although it's a road cassette so might as well be single speed

Need to test run my SS for the Euros and Worlds so I'll be on one gear

Cheers for the offer big fella, but I think I'm done fannying about with all that. I'll polish up the tensioner and that'll do me.

What you lose on the wheels, you make up on that Ti frame surely? You got a weight?

Not as yet
It's down to the choice of forks.I've just got an rc-31 from gil,but it's 1" and the frame is 1 1/8",so ive ordered one of the CK reducing kits from aspire velotech,if it arrives in time[and doesn't get taxed to hell]i'll be running that.If not then it will be the Z2 :?
