So, I have come to the decision that over the winter, I am slowly going to upgrade my Two50. It has a decent spec. already, however, I would like to lighten it up a bit to around 26-27 lbs, as well as customize it and make it one of a kind. I've spoken to Radrider (the sharpie god) and he has agreed to pimp it, but here are some before and after pics so far:

Before it went in for paint, I took the time with a Dremel to remove cable stops, V-Brake bosses, The deraileur hanger, and the ISCG tab, considering I will not be needing them. Including the rawing, It brought the frame from 6.3lbs, down to 5.8lbs. Which is too light, but every little bit of un-necessary weight helps.

Future spec list (I will post pics as new components are added, and check off on the list)

Fork: Argyle 302 (with custom graphics as well) ***
Hoops: Syncros DS28's 26" (White)
Rr. Hub: KHE Geisha MTB Freecoaster Rear, ***
Fr. Hub: Hope Pro II Front (Both Gold)
Tires: Intense Micro Knobbies with Specialized Superlight Tubes
Crank: Macneil Conjoined (White)
Sprocket: Profile Imperial (Gold 25t)
BB: Macneil 19mm ***
Headset: Fly Bikes Integrated (Gold) ***
Stem: Imperial Acoustic (Gold, 48mm)
Bars: Deity 25.4's (White) ***
Seat: Duo Rogue (White with Black Graphics) ***
Seatpost: Stolen expandable (Gold) ***
Grips: Federal Slim's (White) ***
Brake: Magura Marta SL in Gold ***
Chain: KMC (Gold) ***
Pedals: Eastern Sealed Mags (Gold) ***
Gold S&M Bar-ends ***

What are your thoughts and opinions so far?

Have to say I'd have lost the disk mounts and kept the Vees for street.

Not the biggest fan of V-brakes. They have there applications, but I don't really think they would be good on my bike. I have a dirty habit of bending rear wheels. Not fubar'd by any means, but I don't want to true my wheels before every ride, just so my brakes work properly.

I never run straight wheels and have never had a prob with the Vees. I have however had probs with warped disks.
