What is light for a retro MTB ??

[Duxuk]

I don’t know the exact weights of my 5 full suspension bikes but I do know that the heaviest 2 are the newest. Shocking. A backwards step for much of my riding ie. the climbing. My Whyte PRST4 could be built very light indeed for an FS bike and is my lightest with it’s current bitsa spec.

I try to aim in the 10 Kg - 11 kg ball park. I have found sub 9 Kg is just not good.

For what it’s worth, my 20” 1996 Team Titanium weighs 8.9Kg with modern components:

I built my 1993 DBR Axis Team Titanium to about 20lb, with Mag 21's (SLTi), cantis, etc....
