That's purty. Random spokes are pretty cool.

I like the pink spokes, but I wish they matched something else on the bike.

I doubt it's 21 lbs, but I'm sure it's pretty light. My guess would be 23.

+ 10

You should hang a scale from your penis and weigh the bike. Kill two birds with one stone.

j-brantley Plus (Jan 26, 2011 at 22:55)

I felt it, I say around 23-24lb, very light! Feels perfectly balanced!

according to mike's facebook page it's 21.1 pounds...regardless it's sweet!

tylerdasilva (Jan 26, 2011 at 23:28)

YES! i new i saw it some where

liveless (Jan 27, 2011 at 11:39)

wtf... 21?!? How the hell... If you start adding those parts claimed weights on calculator i bet you are looking at somewhere around 23lb+
I mean really, theres nothing super light exept that frame if its lighter for this year.

seraph (Jan 27, 2011 at 11:42)

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. My Jackal was 23 lbs as a single speed with 2 XTR brakes and a sub 4 lb fork. I know for a fact that my fork, cranks, pedals, rims, tires, chain, bars, and stem were lighter than the ones he's running in this pic. The main thing that would be lighter on his build would be the frame, but only by a 1/2 pound.

+ 10

its a joke..

Branman (Jan 29, 2011 at 12:17)

maybe he put helium in his tires?

seraph (Jan 29, 2011 at 12:56)

I think he must have put negatively charged magnets in it so it pushes away from the natural magnetism of the planet Earth wheh he jumps, making up for the extra weight.

corsair711 (Jan 30, 2011 at 16:04)

21 doesn't sound right. Where's the Jersey Shore bro at? Someone start comparing specs.

beneli (Feb 1, 2011 at 14:36)

the only thing that I know is that seat weights 221 grams, and seat post is 222 g in the full lenght of 400 mm

mcquade93 (Feb 11, 2011 at 21:58)

I bet if you took the front brake off it would be around 21

ballabika Plus (May 11, 2011 at 21:00)

i bet Mike said its 21 just so all of you would go crazy on threads about it lol

I like the idea of two odd colored spokes around the valve stem, makes it easy to find in a hurry.
