Pick a different frame. This frame is heavy. Trying to lighten it is like putting zero gravity and m2 racer components on a carbon steel Schwinn. I would try...
I just bought the Ax-Lightness Orion brakes and M2 Racer seatpost clamp so im going to be short on cash for a while (Ouch, it hurts). I heard that the price is...

Could you describe all the components that are on the bike to get down 17.5 lbs. I'm assuming Record derailleurs, what about cassette, wheels, saddle, etc.? ...
If you look at my original post you can see some of the components I have. BTW, the falcon disc rear wheel is about 680g and Hed3c front is 670g(lightest, most...
hey duder; i really respect your set-up and way to go on getting it to 17.5 pounds :-S My opinion is still that the y-foil is a bit on the heavy side unless...
The best way to lighten up a y-foil is too stop eating after 7pm, eliminate fast food from the diet, no sodas and to replace that front fork that came with it....
ROFL... All too true Nathan. Emile, I'm not the one with the 17.5lbs Y-Foil. I'm still building mine and have no idea what its going to weigh. But the parts...
sounds like you're going in the right direction ;-) most of the gear you're using is so out of my league I never even heard of most (I thought zero gravity...
I have a 54cm blue y-foil that I am just not riding anymore. The puddle of tears under the bike distresses me and I'd like to find an appreciative home for it....

... I'm with you Nick. The Y-Foil is interesting, for sure: I have two and don't ever plan on selling them. But, I would really like to hear a little more...
I noticed some photo's of two prototype Y's on this group (somewhere (in the "files" section I think) and those blew me away; I'd kill for any obscure...
I remember (and still have) the Road Bike Review that had a blue proto Y-Foil on the cover with the caption "Trek's Future Shock" The magazine used it as a...
Matt, Anything you can offer would be great!! Pictures, models, failed prototypes, anything you've got from Trek's skunkworks. Here's an engineering question....
