I don't really want to sink loads of money into a bike to get the weight down, the way I see it, I add the money that it would have cost me to the money I sold it for and buy a bike that I actually want. I really didn't like the colour of it, getting it powdercoated would have been £50 ish, + I would have had to take it there aswell, another £20 odd plus my time, then decals, lighter wheels, seatpost, seat, pegs, bars, crank etc... the list goes on doesn't it? Would end up with a nice bike but it's not really the bike I wanted in the first place.
I do like them but there are others I like more.
