Some one do the math for me. Whats the weight (lbs) and cost (us)?

Not sure, but it's kinda funny that it doesn't look like it has a carbon fiber exhaust!

spc · February 19, 2009, 07:02:34 PM

315lbs~ and the title even says 160k

Roadstergal · February 19, 2009, 07:04:51 PM

Bah, my WR is lighter than that. And I won't weep uncontrollably if I crash it.

bucks1605 · February 19, 2009, 09:32:18 PM

0.54 hp/lb...

I jus dont wanna hear anyone Buddha Loves You about the cost of a chopper lol. whats too much for one is justifiable by another. same wih this thing. me even if i did have the cash to spare, i wouldnt. cause cf although strong, an errant rock chucked up by the bike itself or another vehicle coudl put someserious hurt on this thing

almsot sewxy thoiugh. i wonder though why is CF never painted?

it would be sweet having 170hp and only 300 some pounds though.

yamahonkawazuki · February 20, 2009, 12:03:21 AM

Yeah i agree. that w9ould be much fun. i wonder how hard it would be to ekep both wheels planted though

CF veneers on the frame look ghey.

replacing plastics with CF is like shooting a duck twice. with a golden gun. while commenting about OAAAAAAK and LEAAAAAAAAAAAAATHER in your favorite wine.

(yes, i own a CF road bike. this is differ'nt. shaddup)

I've seen it painted in race applications.

It generally doesn't get painted on projects, though, because people want to send the message of OMGWTFBBQIhavemadCARBONFIBER!!!11!!!

jay leno should buy it.

wladziu · February 20, 2009, 07:49:54 PM

A CF toilet seat?
What about the rest of the toilet?

GeeP · February 20, 2009, 08:37:39 PM

I ride a vintage frenchy.....

Fixies are really hip now, aren't they? Let's take the most useful invention to happen to bicycles and toss it... and the front brake, too.

spc · February 21, 2009, 03:08:05 PM

Most factory fixies have a front brake but no rear. They've always been hip, just in limited circles. The great part is when you ride a fixie on a group ride with a bunch of 18-20spd wimps.

I'm wanting to get an old school steel frame bianchi pista and make a mean ass single out of it, lightest wheels I can build, Campy Record crank with the what 66t, fixed, flippable to freewheel single hub on the back for when I'm feeling lazy..................drool....................

shiznizbiz · February 22, 2009, 12:22:14 AM

I still have all 7 original cogs on mine. Brakes too. Im about to do little work to restore the crank i helped destroy. But she'll stay s original as possible. Only thing high tech on this baby are the kevlar tires and green LED blinker on the seat post telling the cagers Im there.

And I like to pass spandex warriors on their Campagnolos on my 'cross bike with loaded panniers and a tent. But I wouldn't take the hills around here without gears that keep me pedaling fast both uphill and down.
