[DangerousDave]

i think it looks stupid...but the thing must weigh 20 lbs or less?

[trauma100]

Look's nice.... drumroll for the weight

[chronic]

Only thing I dont like about it is the seat tube. Its like the simtra, It looks funny pointing towards the front of the bike.

But meh, thats being picky. I think it looks great otherwise. I love white frame so much

[eastside]

Nice! 21.825 pounds for us US riders ;)

Those rims alone are almost 1lb lighter than Echo's

[bigbororo]

I took the weight in a street market... 9750grhttp://img222.imageshack.us/img222/1/dscf1163sc7.jpg

Looks quite heavy for magnesium frame + rims...try switch Tyres to front around 450g and rear around 740g....

Maxis minion is 1330g Big betty is 750g
Continental Vertical is 730g there are many 2.1 tyres at 450-500g

You can save around 850g on tyres.

[Bryan]

yeah 9.9 for magnesium is really heavy. Maybe you have 900 grams of reflectors?

[WuYang]

a DOB stock bike built by my friend is about 9KG,beat a mod!

Yes, his tires are heavy but the difference is not so much.

This is a brand new 2ply Minion 2.5 and it's 1269 g on my scale.

This is a bit used Big Betty 2.4 and it's 891 g on my scale.
http://img1.tar.hu/cphun/size2/28090239.jpg

A folding Schwalbe Jimmy light 2.1 tire is 495 g and I think it's quite good on the front wheel but I prefer the grip of the 670 g Try-all front.

[Bryan]

400g is a lot

still waiting on details from TRA

[hophopsnap]

1.46m :rofl:

[CPHun]

Sorry, I meant the difference between the weight of the 2ply Maxxis and Big Betty is a lot but not as much as Rav said. (He said ~600g)

[bigbororo]

I cannot fit a MAXXIS TIRE 2,5 !!!!!!! the chain is loose! I try with MINION 2.5 and ROLLER 2.5 Also with maxxis ADANTAGE 2.4 and continuous running into, it causes rubbing in the wall :werd: somebody also has that problem?

Tomorrow I will try with "Maxxis minion 26x2.35 2ply"...... I hope that work because it is the only detail that the bicycle has.

[Jason222]

I wanna hear the situation from TRA.

[TRA]

go for big betty on rear ..

but ... why do you have such a weak and light frame and then run CZAR crankarms which is like 500 grams heavier then tryall ones?

[dannyboy]

like TRA said... big betty on rear, new ones for 08 are better too! 850gms a tyre!!

I have one on my ozonys which weighs in 9.4kg complete.

[tubender]
