i agree, but there are also people who are not so set on performance and therefore do not need a very light bike. and i'm not being serious about the competition. It would be cool to find out who rides 30+ bikes and are doing big technical tricks aswell.
bikes weren't always as lite as they are these days
and if there is a weight weeny topic then why shouldn't this one exist.
bitchin, this thing was tank...it put a nice dent in a kona stinky, i upgraded(thank god)...i never actually weighted it but it must of been 40 pounds...
mine is under 25! its built sturdy though pics on my profile but now i have grand slams and a animal vinnie light sprocket. i'll do a bike check when i get it all the way dialed.
