That is some serious wedge
I have no idea, I've decided I'm not going to add it up.....
EDIT: that sounds a bit pompous - apologies. What I meant was, I don't want to know how much it costs, if I do I'll get all precious about it and not ride it. See Storck road bike hung in the garage as an example...
Tomac Flint, singlespeed with Manitou Minute fork, middling wheels, a bit of sealant in the tubes and carbon bars and seatpost. The bathroom scales say 24lbs and have me wondering how these sub 20lb builds come about. I know I could lose weight off it here and there but I'm struggling to see how it could get THAT much lighter and still keep all the parts required to make it a bicycle?
Wheels and forks are where the weight adds up the most. I went to rigid and a light set of wheels on my race bike and dropped a massive amount of weight. Depends on whether you intend to race I suppose and also if you can stand riding without suspension
Also, it always amazes me how much difference a light chain can make.
just got a ti chain for 222gs....booom
im trying to go sub 20 with 2x10 and bouncy forks
ti chain for 222g
I really did not need to know that such things exist.
WHERE FROM!!!!!!???????
KMC do Titanium Nitride gold 10 speed chains. A little bit of bling!
Going to watch this thread with interest mr Bruce 
the ti nitride is just a coating though isnt it?
Not that I doubt you for one minute Bream but I'm struggling to see where the missing 5lb over a stock Anthem has evaporated.
have to agree, the weight of that Anthem raised my eyebrows too

Don't think thats the only one that requires a pinch of salt 
The scales I'm my LBS come up 10-20% light, depending on the weight of the bike. It makes the locals happy, but love my RIP as I do, it was never going to be sub 25lbs. I meant to buy them some new ones for Christmas.
lightish selma now with silly light rotors
heavy weight version with a boingy frontage
massively heavy gas pipe with silly bars
about 19 lbs now that I've changed the bars, gears and wheels to Crests on Tune hubs:
Not sure on weight but doesn't matter as it's ace, even in this prototype form

the frame alone must bend space/time!!
No BS here: Details of my build
Cut from that thread:
Weighs in at 9.76kgs, major weight saving is in the wheels:
Front wheel complete is 1.2kgs (Inlc disc & bolts, plus UST Racing Ralph)
Rear wheel complete is 1.6kgs (inlc disc, bolts, cassette, QR skewer & UST Racing Ralph).
Aye, over 6lbs frame only.
I suppose I could lighten it with lighter wheels/tyres and binning the reverb then weighing it on Bream's scales. It would be lighter but less fun though. I think of it as resistance training.
Scales aren't mine but a neighbours and we also weighed his brand new Trek FS 29er (new superfly) and my bike was nearly 2kgs lighter! Just the wheel setup alone were ~1.5kg lighter.
No salt pinching etc required.
