If you don't mind me asking how much was the frame? I have not been able to find a price anywhere.

CHIPPER4X (Feb 12, 2009 at 21:09)

the fork is an x fusion team fork. the frame retails for $500 to $550 depending on where you get it at

New cranks, cut steerer and seat post and it's under 23 pounds!

You'll save even a bit more with PC pedals, and an eclat complex PC seat (that seat/post is less than 200g, and only $30). You'd have to slam the seat to make it work tho. That would be insane.

CHIPPER4X (Jan 23, 2009 at 21:56)

actually pc pedals are heavier and i am getting a new seat and post but i dont run it slammed. cranks are good they are strong and light and steer tube will be shorter when i get my new fork

Saint cranks weigh over 1000 grams, that's not light. XT cranks weigh about 850 grams, and XTR weigh less than that even. XT is the way to go, I never had any problems with mine on my street and all mountain bikes.

CHIPPER4X (Feb 19, 2009 at 10:50)

i think xt cranks have to much flex for gate starts. i used to run them on my hardtail now i have them on my dh bike

seraph (Feb 19, 2009 at 10:59)

Well then Gravity Lights would be a happy medium. They have a (claimed) weight of around 950 grams and seem to be plenty stiff for many top level pros. Also were your XT cranks M770 or M760? Because I know that the M760s aren't as stiff as the newer M770s.

CHIPPER4X (Feb 19, 2009 at 21:29)

i have had both xt cranks. the new ones are stiffer but the saints are way stiffer and as for the gravity light cranks my friend is always bending the arms on his. when i build my new bike i might go back to xts but i really like the stiffness of the saints and they also have a steel insert in them

take the frame off that will save some wieght

seraph (Apr 3, 2009 at 12:02)

Um, the Amp is one of the lightest dirt/street frames available. I doubt you could find a lighter unit without going custom ti.

bradownie (Apr 3, 2009 at 12:34)

http://www.chargebikes.com/products/parts/fdetail.php?id=10 Charge blender ti - 3.4 lbs. The amp is still sick though.

bradownie (Apr 3, 2009 at 12:35)

My bad, the iron ti is the DJ frame... 3.6lbs http://www.chargebikes.com/products/parts/fdetail.php?id=12

bradownie (Apr 3, 2009 at 12:38)

I'm just an idiot, they're both DJ frames... here come the neg props, woo.
