Lightest old school parts
« on: February 04, 2011, 06:30 PM »
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 ???

Alloy crank.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

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  :daumenhoch:
