I have to admit to not using pegs anymore mainly because I just don't use them now but placky pegs never sound as good as steel one's on coping!

i bought some plastic KHE pegs to reduce the noise on my garden ramp, they grind terrible though really slow and sticky so i'm back to noisy metal pegs and sod the neighbours

It won't be long before they start making plastic, alloy comosite frames and other components.

It'll certainly take light to an all new level.

Going slightly off topic,wondering if all this lightness thing is getting (got?) bloody stupid.There are riders who were rad on their heavy weight mid school tanks,still just as rad today on feather weight bikes...

i dont think so trying new stuff is always good if people didnt try new things then nothing would evolve and possibly interest would be lost etc

Totally true,I`ve nothing at all with companies trying new ideas and I`d much rather have a light bike than a hefty beast.I do PMSL at the trendy sprogs at my local park bitching about how "These cranks are better `cos they 0.014grams lighter than yours" or somesuch crap!

But they are "bulletproof" Nick!

Wouldnt have fancied being the original tester sitting behind the polycarbonate window facing the magnum though would you?
