[clockworkgazz]

yeah loving your work ZZ what saddle you going for? I have opted out of the flite for the day so if you want a loan of it at dunkers then that would be no bother.

Funnily enough (still) waiting on a Flite arriving But appreciate the offer of some shiny leather from 'neath yir sweaty crack.

It's a bit of a mystery fork, got it from Kaiser but not sure where he got it from - it's got Ritchey dropouts but that's all I know.

It certainly looks like a Logic fork to me..I'm glad to see something like one fitted, I'm working on finding something similar for my wicked so I can tart it up eventually! Nice build by the way

not too many Fat Chance weight weenies around
like the Wicked in red; cool project; let's see the result.

With that Ritchey front end looks great ZZ, good move with vees, lighter and looks better than Maguras. BTW, what's vees you've got there KCNC?

Cheers Radek.... Brakes are just Avid SD 5, although I replaced the original brake blocks (66g per pair) with the KCNC brake block holders and some Clarks pads (32g per pair)

I think I forgot to weigh the noodles though

And some pics of the final weight weenie build...

After our Dunkeld ride, I'll move it away from being a weight weenie and more towards a regular rider that I'm comfortable with... that'll mean wider bars for sure. The rest, we'll see...
