Huuuuuuuuge +1. It's not cheap to build up a super light bike. A lot of people are trying to lose weight where it weighs the most (Frame, fork, bar, cranks) but you're REALLY better off losing weight by getting yourself a better wheelset. Don't skimp out and go cheap, I mean get something really nice. It's rotational weight in a few ways. Firstly, the bike will accelerate noticeably more easily, it'll do spin tricks easier, and you can build a pretty light wheelset and still keep your wheels strong.

Strong, light, cheap; choose two, you only get two.

No, you can't get all three. That's the point of it.

I don't know if this has already been posted but the KHE Specter is 3.2 pounds I believe but I wouldn't trust it, then again, I do own a Grim Reaper v2 and I feel it's a lot stronger then my old v1. But other than weight for the Grim the geo is just amazing in my opinion. I got caught in the super light bike trend and built up a 18.3 pound bike and it's nice and all but while riding park and some street it really does feel strong but it's just to light making something's feel really sketchy. That's why I'm moving on to a heavier Colony Hell Stallion. (4.8 pounds) Should have the beast up tomorrow.

#1- Do not buy a Grim Reaper or an Unknown Revolution. Both are ticking time bombs.
#2- Unknown went out of business as they couldn't honour any of their warranties.
#3- It's a Wethepeople Lo-fi, not a Premium Lo-fi.
#4- The Wethepeople Lo-fi does not weigh 3.3 pounds.
#5- Don't base your decision just on weight.

End.

hahahahahahaha

Soz i had to. Razz that cracked me up
