i've looked thru past messages on here and i see that most of ya'll
owners have an average weight of 19-20# for a complete bike. i just
weighed mine today and it came in at 20.73#. is it possible to get
this bike down to the 16-18# range without having to take out a fourth
mortgage on a home?
my bike is all original ultegra triple with mavic cosmic expert wheels
and look pp357(?) pedals.
i was dreaming of swapping out the triples for a compact double (fsa k-
force carbon compact), which in turn will require me to swap out the
shifters and derailleurs (triple to double), and also changing wheels
(bontrager race x lite or rolf vigor), seat (bontrager race x lite or
forte pro slx), and pedals (look keo sprint or time rxs).
if this rebuild starts to look like it's going to hit into the $2500's,
i might not go ahead with that but just purchase another ride, and use
my ride for training and those social group rides. (the trek equinox
ttx looks reaaaaal inviting!!!)
any suggestions?
