Y'know the green frame really looks good. If you were looking at getting a new frame you should get it powdercoated the same color.

Woop, where's the full pics?

Rattsl (Mar 3, 2009 at 15:39)

I'm gonna download them now, it will take a bit.

nouser (Mar 3, 2009 at 15:41)

Ok, sweet I wanna see this

george91 (Mar 3, 2009 at 15:41)

thats pretty damn light for a p1 but brakeless is cheating

Rattsl (Mar 3, 2009 at 15:42)

I'll make it up. lol

george91 (Mar 3, 2009 at 16:08)

naa thats pretty damn fair man, if you had say a sub you could take almost 3lbs off of that weight so it would be something like 24lbs complete with a brake!

Rattsl (Mar 3, 2009 at 16:10)

Well, Im getting elixir, and a king headset, as well as cut LX cranks, this build as in the P.1 could be looking at 25lbs

george91 (Mar 3, 2009 at 16:16)

that would be cool but whats wrong with the brake you got.

Rattsl (Mar 3, 2009 at 16:19)

Ummm, it's mech and I prefer hydro.

george91 (Mar 3, 2009 at 16:24)

ahh fair enough so do i but have a mech too lol.

Rattsl (Mar 3, 2009 at 16:27)

I don't like the way mech feels, it aint smooth.

george91 (Mar 3, 2009 at 16:39)

or as reliable, and not as dependable...i want a hydro again.

Rattsl (Mar 3, 2009 at 16:39)

Don't we all.

rigodon777 (Mar 3, 2009 at 18:21)

as well as cut LX cranks..
^^
Can you explain me a lil' bit?

seraph (Mar 4, 2009 at 13:56)

I believe he's referring to the method by which you cut off the 104x4 tabs on the spider of the cranks and only use the mounts for the small (inner) ring. Saves a little bit of weight and makes an overall cleaner look.

rigodon777 (Mar 4, 2009 at 18:03)

Yeap, he told me about it on my noteboard. but Thanks.

speedyace (Apr 13, 2009 at 18:34)

wild question you may know this, would it be lighter with a bmx crank?

Rattsl (Apr 13, 2009 at 18:41)

Nope...it will be lighter with the Shimano LX crank...it will be about 400g less than the current crank.

speedyace (Apr 13, 2009 at 18:42)

what would the total wight be then?

Rattsl (Apr 13, 2009 at 18:45)

I'm estimating the final build on this particular frame when finished will be 25-24 lbs

speedyace (Apr 13, 2009 at 18:51)

sounds good man

tacobell123 (Apr 13, 2009 at 21:26)

haha get a real frame and youll be down to 22's-20lbs ( one thats not 8 lbs lol)

DJ-FR-Ky (Mar 3, 2009 at 16:03)

damn... nice weight >

Rattsl (Mar 3, 2009 at 16:03)

dirtjackson (Mar 4, 2009 at 17:07)

Rattsl (Mar 4, 2009 at 17:11)

Specialized Rhythm Lite Control 580g

dirtjackson (Mar 4, 2009 at 17:12)

interesting. haha

Rattsl (Mar 4, 2009 at 17:13)

They roll super smooth though.

dirtjackson (Mar 4, 2009 at 17:16)

looks like they do. they kinda remind me of holy rollers, but wayy lighter

Rattsl (Mar 4, 2009 at 17:20)

They are similar to Holy Rollers but work so much better.

dirtjackson (Mar 4, 2009 at 17:29)

thats legit
