Im building a loopy Ripper and fancy making it stupidly light, so far I have the frame and on the way are some alloy bars and a uni seat. What other parts would keep this very light

addicks clamps are not light, they have a steel insert in both sides

Pro Class wheels, DC 890 Brake, DC Tech 3 lever, Alloy Powerlite or Race Inc bars, 1.75 or 1.5 inch tyres, 1.5 inch inner tubes, KKT or Suntour Magnesium pedals, alloy 3pce cranks should all make for a light bike

Funny enough , I 'd just tried looking for a pic ont web of that

The " Holey Cro-moly" bike

Rooski's got a pretty much definitive list there

I'll include Uni turbo seat combo and Vector bars (saving the need for a stem) mind you renthal "superlights"were "stupidlight"

rooski · « **Reply #16 on:** February 05, 2011, 11:17 AM »

Im sure one of the uk bmx mags built the lightest bike they could $:-\$

pretty sure they put haro vectors on it

ame grips? There're light

and if you're using a uni-turbo buy one of their seat covers, I have one and there're really comfy

Moza · « **Reply #20 on:** February 05, 2011, 05:00 PM »

Thanks guys so far I have the uni seat and the Powerlites should be with me soon. Ive got the bike sort of built up with alloy hubbed tuffs on and its bloody light. Its lighter that my Supergoose frame lmao !!
