Single speed Klein Attitude

[attitude91]

Here's my Klein i've been building over the last few years. The plan was it to be as light as possible and i'm well happy with the results, just under 14 pounds.

A stunning bike and a seriously impressive weight, but I'd have to go with some fatter rubber from a looks perspective.

That is silly light. It basically looks like a road bike at this point. haha. I would throw some rocket rons on there, they dont weigh that much and then itll still look like a MTB

Wow that is crazy light, how did you achieve it..??

Mine is almost 20pounds, with very light parts..

When I was sourcing the parts I was purely looking from a weight perspective. Now it's finished I need to change the tyres as you say they're only good for the road at the moment. I should have weighed each part before fitting but didn't so don't know what the big differences would be. Probably the loss of gears is the main one.

Never seen a bike rack for a motorbike before, that's cool.

I have some Maxxlite 310s that are super light (about 310g) and work OK for light off road. I bet a pair of those wouldn't put the weight of the bike up by much more than half a pound.

(not for sale, btw)

Is that a weight with pedals?

I'm struggling to break the 16lb barrier with a build centered around a frame weighing 1020g.

Re the 310's ...... They make good road tyres when used as a pair. If you want them for anything more than light offroad think about a different front tyre .... unless you really don't like your teeth .....

Weight weenie supremeo TinTin40 has a similar weight geared bike (Trimble) and IIRC is running 1.7'' Geax Gato(?) tyres - circa 400g.
