I could likely shave off another pound by shortening the excess steerer, adding a lighter saddle lighter cranks, bb, inner tubes, pedals, and brake levers. That would get it very close to the 23 pounds and the bicycle would still likely be a reliable commuter that could be used on road and gravel. Running this as a 700c frame with 30mm tires would likely get it below 23 pounds with little impact on durability, weather worthiness, and long distance comfort. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
