Thanks i like them they ride great climb without bouncing. The Stakh1 i got it down to just under 25lbs. I replaced all the bolts to Ti and seatpost to a Next SL.. The Maadh i got it to 28Lbs on the nose.

Don't bother with Ti. The weight savings is nothing compared to the price.

We had one of the Stakh frames in our shop.

I still don't think it's worth it. That's me, though.

The cool think about Ti is that you can change the colour of the bolts...

If you do the whole bike you end up saving about 250g maybe more if you do every bolt....75g just on the brakes 30g on each wheel then the rest on the seatpost, stem, shifters, etc....

I think i did my bikes for about $110....I did both so its hard to say i just ordered all the bolts for my bikes at once.

Took the Maadh out to Waterdown trails today it was total mayhem...Then it started to rain.....I think the only thing that was dry was a small spot in the middle of my back....I never seen that much rain...The trails were rivers.
