So when I was building up Sylvain's old Merlin with the parts from my Cannondale I realised I was sad enough to weigh it.
Ok I admit it, I weighed all the parts. Frame seems to be dead on 1kg.
Now until I replace some of the old parts with new kit this bike isn't going to win any prizes (I think Sylv had it at 7.5kg with loads of carbon stuff, and now it's around 8.5kg with a triple and fairly heavy Campag Scirocco wheels). At some point I'll get a compact chainset and a new set of wheels.
But it started me wondering which Agreeable holds the record for lightest road bike? The UCI legal minimum is 6.8kg which is pretty achievable with off the shelf parts these days.
PS I have to find something to do when I seem to have had a cold EVERY WEEKEND since Xmas. When I haven't I've been away, which is why I haven't been out for a while...
