    Still BLOWN away by the final outcome of this bike, I know it is an expensive build but this is the first time I have seen a 13lb bike as a stock paintjob and a lot of big name items that still hold normal bike riding properties like a 2x setup or a 50mm depth wheel, and also 28c tires, there are still so many options to make this build lighter and also the bike is a stock paint job as a 52.... If you are interested in a build list comment below and let me know if you like..... Also I would love to hear your recommendations for the customer on what he can do next for the build.... Like I said in the video this is what the customer likes to do with there hobby and this is what they enjoy, not everything is about performance or saving money, All that matters is the customer loves what he does and loves what he rides.

    Another place to save weight and it doesnt cost alot at all is to replace all the bolts to Ti.
    (Caliper mounts, bottle cage, rear hanger and jockey wheels, shifters and hose clamps, stem bolts, top cap)
    Maybe also the the axles in the pedals to Ti if it doesnt interfer with the power meters.
    Change out the stock hanger to a direct mount and the rear cassette to a Zoney with the gold spider.
    The total weight saved with a bolt kit change may only be 30g BUT in the world of marginal gains, there is a huge difference between a 6.02Kg build and a 5.99kg build.
    All-in-all despite it being a flex build, it really has come together very well.

    as crazy as it sounds, and as sweet as those Princeton wheels are, that is where the weight is. He should keep those on for daily flatlands use and build a pair of wheels using Farsports AR25 rims for climbing (assuming he ever ventures out of Florida!). Those AR25's can be easily built to ~1,000g for the pair and under 900g if you get a little exotic in hub and spoke choice. That alone (especially with a Prestacycle cassette) easily dips the bike below 6KG.

      yea they lookk amazing but the weight is not where they should be for this build.... I rode them for a while on my titanium bike and I loved them, they are very comfortable wheels, very aero and you can feel that at the higher end speeds, also once you get them up to speed if you stand up out of the saddle or make turns they have a lot of momentum and want to continue strait so that feels great, only downside is for sprinting they have some give to them because of the length of the carbon, you can see them have give, but other then that very comfortable and very aero wheels
