Extralite F2

Right then, got me a bicycle.

Bit of a weird project for me, as it looks pretty complete as is. I will be making a few changes ie Sachs 2x9 and f,mech, USE flat carbon bars, WTB stealth pedals, maybe a tyre change, Flite saddle...
I may also replace the forks for something a little more exotic.

Found a good set of pedals the other day, so the build is afoot! Well except the bike is in my brothers garage 300miles away. By the time I pick it up, I should have most of the replacement parts. So here it is.

Finally got the bike back to my palm tree fringed Cornish ranch from up near the arctic somewhere.

Detailed pics later.

No cables or chain, but I couldn't miss the photo opportunity of a sunny afternoon.

I had a extralite a few years back. It’s one of the ones I regret selling as they are pretty cool.

What’s it weigh? I remember mine being around 10.5 kg which was shocking really for a full sus

I may weigh it when it's finished.
