I fancy a super light singlespeed to go with my trusty P7; I'm thinking of a Scandal 26er with some pace forks, not researched what's available yet though. Would be good to see some built up bikes and what they weigh in at please!
Cheers
Gareth

Kinesis Virsa frame
Pace RC31 forks
Hope mini mono's on floating rotors
ZTR Olympic rims on XTR hubs
Nobby nic/racing ralph tubeless
monkeylite carbon bars
fsa carbon post
gobi wingflex saddle

I think its around 22lbs but could be a lot lighter,as the crappy scales I used said my hardtail was 32lbs and it should be around 28-29lbs.

[url= http://www.light-bikes.com/BikeGallery/ ]This[/url] may provide more inspiration.

Lightest one on there is 9.68lbs, albeit without photo, it may be a calculated weight rather than an actual weight, rarely even close!

Light bikes are in the details, if you're the sort of person who thinks 'it's only 50g heavier, I'll get that one' you won't end up with a light bike ๐Ÿ™‚

Edit: really light one is a road bike, 13.68lbs is the MTB target:
