Nice, clean build there tommyl...
I particularly like the manual front shifter...

Nice build, pleased weight came out similar to my Lightning, as there were a lot of doubters on here!
It's got V's still which are lighter than Discs, but RC36's which are a bit heavier than 31's, the frame will be a little lighter too.
XTR Cassettes are a fair bit lighter than Sram 990's btw. Whats the rear mech weigh? I'm running Dura ace triple which is 180g

Get yours photographed on the scales and we'll stop being doubters

You could save a couple of grams by using short valve innertubes!

Nice build!

Looks good, but those forks are looking way long for that frame.

Have to agree, lovely build, but the forks make the geometry look a bit wrong.

Yeh forks are too long.


They are the 420s yeh?

Adds voice to chorus of "geometry is shot".

Not liking front chainring idea either. If chain falls off under shifting - and it will - that's a very expensive piece of alloy to be gouging holes in.

Nice build on the whole though.
