Finished

So here it is, all finished bar some setup and bar tape.


Total weight 8934g (no pedals), 9190g with pedals.  Road tyres and lighter wheels rather than the ruggedly practical ones I have fitted would bring that down by 750g but I like robust and comfortable so no way I am changing.  There are a few grams to save here and there though: the seat post stretches most of the way down the seat tube, chopping that down would save at least 50g; I may need a longer stem and I'll likely replace the current one with a full carbon one saving 20g; the fork will need chopping down, which along with the consequent spacer removal may save 10-20g.  Against that I will need a light and reflector but all in all I'm pretty happy.
