~ 4.8kg
 
Holly Molly! That's awesome (and light too). Why not a Morati seat-post? I'm pretty sure they made one (even though I like the Syncros better).
Interesting components mix: Modern Hope brakes, mid-school M952 drive-train, old school Grafton Speedtraps.
 
@ syncros

I think the search continues for a Morati seat post. Running down a 30.0mm in optimal condition is pretty difficult I would imagine though. The Syncros is a good temporary alternative I think as well.
 
Syncrosfan, if you help me find one I'd love to take it! ;)

Regarding component mix: I'll use this bike :) Therefore it has to work
properly! I don't want to bother with old brakes not working well!

The mid-cage RD-M952 paired with the 12-27T Dura Ace cassette will
work so well you can't imagine! (have it on my Lobo DH)

I am thinking of buying this chain too:

The CN-7700 is around 300g if not a bit more, this one at around 230g.
 
"12-27T Dura Ace cassette" I guess you won't be taking it up any really steep ascents then ;) ,...or you're super powerful and light (me I'm neither of the latter so I need at least a 12-32, preferably 11-34 for 9 speed :( )
If I ever run across a Morati seatpost I'll let you know.

Thanks!

Well regarding the cassette; you also have to consider
that my chainrings are 24/34/46 like the FC-M952 4-arm
spider Version. The 5-star FC-M952 has 26/36/48. That
would be too big for this setup.

But M900 had 28T and 32T cassettes, M950 only 30T and
32T and M952 exclusively 32T. M953 was the first 34T monster

I think the combination will be nice. If unrideable it will get
changed of course :cool:

Stramme Waden!
Otherwise you could always get an Action Tec 20T microdrive Ti-chainring (that could always help getting a better range) pending your crank set is compact 94BCD...
 
As I said I have it on the STS DH Lobo and on the front I have 34T I guess
and with 34T in the front and 27T in the rear I can climb quite a lot with that
machine.

So 24T front and 27T rear will be just fine! :)
