Way too fast for this old fat w*nker, that's for sure.

I can report it does ride!!

The rear shock needs to be fixed as the rebound damping is duff.
Which give a someone interesting ride feel.

That looks great with the orange accents. Would love to see it with the orange grips back and the Halsons though

Thank you.

The grips looked like I was trying too hard, and the Halson's look better on the Boulder Starship... See >97 build thread.

The Superlight is off to fat camp.

Approximate weight savings
Continental Supersonic tubes for butyl x2 = 160g
Kenda Klimax Lite for Ritchey wcs x2 360g
Litepeo levers for Sram 9.0 = 100g
Sachs Quarz chainset 731g complete for Blackspire + 13g

I would've done anything for one of these when I was a wean, really nice build.
