King Kahuna - Update - 8th December

Nice indeed. How are those Charge saddles and how light are they?
I'm also considering brown leather saddle for my ti ride

I've not used it really, but will report back

It's the steel railed one, I can take it off and weigh it for you if you like?

If I like it, I'll probably change it for a Ti one.

Cheers

I'm so happy it went to Martin! It's definitely in the right hands. He got it for quite a bit less than the DBA price and it was worth it. He's done a bang up job already!

Thanks Paul I was hoping to get out today, but just not feeling well enough at the moment

Thank you. I have already ordered the ti version. I think it weighs around 230 grams.

Now that really is a classy lady. Nice subtle build you have there

Very tidy

I'd definately prefer to have an R36 fork up front though

Thanks for the comments

That SID is a better fork than any RC-36, leave it. I think it looks good with the rest of the build too.
