Hello everyone,
We decided it would be fun to try and build a superlight bike... with the following brief:
- Must be fully 'rideable' (no stupid stuff just for the sake of making it light that would fall apart after 5 mins riding).
- Must have no modifications.
- Must be able to be sold once built.
Here's the outcome... Full spec is here: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product....oduct_id=10759
