Titanium Litespeed build - 21lb final weight target

[shaun]

My latest build - a 1999 Lynskey Titanium Obed 3.5lb frame. Stored from new and never used. Hoping to fit Pace Rc31s and full nos 9 speed Xt. More pics soon. Hoping to get it down to around 21lb when built up. Will be built for hard useage and fast fun!

Pace RC31 rigid carbon and magnesium forks should help keep the weight down. They weigh 771g.

Check out the detail on the metal Litespeed badge, pure quality!

Is this going to be a single speed :?

Update

full nos 9 speed Xt.

My bike should be pretty light but unfortunately im a giant and the frame is based upon a garden gate so it comes in at about 26 1/2lbs (though the USE sus post and beaded tyres do bump it up a bit)
Tyre choice is good for dropping weight as it changing unimportant bolts to alloy or Ti Whats your choice of cranks :?

 

[shaun]

Choice of cranks, either nos Raceface Turbine LP or XT 750. As this bike is being built to ride, I may keep the Turbines for my next build, a Kona explosif garage queen ultimate build. Litespeed will be 9 speed.

Yeah,keep the turbines,best on something like a kona anyhow. Whats up with it that makes it a garage queed Breakages or you mean as in it just doesnt get out too oftem.
Incidentally :? what the weight of the XT750 cranks. ?
