Scott team endorphin with zipps full xtr 1996/97

[marin man]

I rode this a good few miles yesterday at the thetford retrobike meet and was really pleased......was worried about the 90 gram stem :shock: and the newly rebuilt zipps with the alloy nipples worried me a bit but I rode it as usual and no problems

Certainly put a smile on my face.............

Was like being 18 again.....apart from the wheezing

Im shocked by the weight :? My Ti SS is 23lbs
Mind you i do have my reservations on the McRetro scales :shock:

 

[marin man]

I am surprised myself but the frame weighs around the three pound mark or very slightly under.....good building block for lightweight....

Will post pics on the scales when I get a chance....

I think my bike must have been against something as Radeks bike came in @ 21lbs although you could feel mine was lighter.

Searching ebay for a set of scales for myself That might be a can of worms though :?

Sure that wasn't 22.26 KG

I think the weight doesn't really matter aslong as you enjoy the ride, Right?

 

[marin man]

You are actually correct mikee....but it is an interesting aside

 

[mikeekim89]

I won't deny the weight is a good factor, The ride is essential though, Would you rather ride a super-light that feels like it's stabbing you or a heavyweight that rides like sitting on the comfiest of couches?

cant beat a light bike ,feels more alive imo
