Greetings Roadies!
It has been brought to my attention that there is some interest in a new thread topic: Detailed Bike Builds.
This has proven to be very popular in such sites such as "Weight Weenies."
I'll be the first to contribute. First, some ground rules, please verify the weights of your listed components as well as your final build weight with a certified scale. Not to say that manufacturer's listed weights are inaccurate... just that many have proven to be, how shall we say, "overly optimistic?"
Please don't forget to include pictures!
In my case, all listed weights have been verified on either my Tanita (for parts <999g) or my Park Tool (for all other parts & final bike weight) scales.
Sure, the uber-rich can go build a dream bike out of un-obtainium & seal it in a glass case, never to be ridden... However, I think it is much more fun to see how light one can make an everyday, obtainable riding bike. Show us your personal steeds & as Colin Chapman once said, "add lightness."
Please use my build below as a template for listing your detailed bike specs & have fun!
Bike: '12 CAAD10 54cm climbing machine! (pictured in my Avatar)
Frame: 1167g
Fork (cut): 398g
Headset: 78g
Compression unit: Cannondale SI Evo compression wedge: 12g
Spacers: 2g
Stem: Ritchey WCS 260 110mm: 112g
Bar: Ritchey WCS 40cm alloy: 224g
Integrated Shifters: SRAM Red 296g
Front derailleur: Red: 74g
Rear derailleur: Red: 144g
Chain: SRAM 1090: 228g
Crankset: Red 50/34, 172.5: 566g
BB30: Red ceramic: 54g
Brakes: Red Aero: 252g
Seatpost: Ritchey WCS alloy (cut): 168g
Seatpost clamp: Cannondale 15g
Saddle: Cutters carbon: 156g
Wheels: Reynolds Attack carbon clinchers: 587g + 787g
Cassette: SRAM 1090 11-23: 132g
Rim liners: 21g + 21g
Tires: Continental GP4000s: 210g + 210g
Tubes: Michelin: 70g + 70g
Pedals: Time Xpresso8: 198g
Skewers: Ti: 42g
Cables: Jagwire: 90g
Bar tape: Fizik: 67g
Bottle cages/bolts: 50g
Misc: 40g
Total: ** 6,541g ** for a complete, fully-built (w/pedals), climb-ready bike...
...albeit, when you add:
Cateye computer: 54g
a tool/tube bag, pump: 340g
New Total = 6,945g, but who needs all that stuff to weigh you down on a climb? Plus there's water near the top of Yabitsu, you can hydrate on the way back down.
Ride Safe!
