That Flash is lovely. Cannondale claimed 18.5lbs for the 26er, so what's that?

Mine is currently 22.5lb but that is with the stock wheels (deore rear hub) and the cheap SRAM c/set. I reckon it could easily be sub 21 with the right kit. Sub 20 if you have money to burn!

Definitely not me at the moment! Mine's just a fitness compensator!

Strange to see a light build with Flow wheels.

Limkilde - That definitely looks the fastest, very stealthy.

What's the braking like on those rotors?

Ron Burgundy: That is lovely, makes me want another one!

Mine's about 20 / 21 lbs but could drop a pound easily enough - I like a comfy saddle and grips, though and there's no way I'm replacing a £250 cassette every year, so I just use the "heavy" XT 11-36s.

Assume it's the Kettle Cycles SFL rotors, the reviews make them sound like they're verging on dangerous! Shame, look good!

Agree on the Flows, odd choice. Lovely build though.

They reason for flow is that I way in at 85 KG, and dont want some soft flexi rims, like the crest. Also the Crest and Arch rims ar to narrow internal. And finnaly bought them a year ago. 🙂

Yes its the Kettle SICC rotors, they are made from silicon-carbide,ceramic and carbo.

Twundred

I was looking to sell this and buy a 29er FS, I decided to keep it and buy a new road bike instead.

I don't know how light it is, I haven't weighed it since I put the Enve bits on, it was 23lb, maybe a wee bit lighter now I guess.

Around 23 lb. Dual Air Revs, X0 mech & shifter, XX brakes.
I have to admit that somebody have already done the hard work for me, as I bought it set up like this less than a week ago, but definetly the lightest bike I have ever had, XC or not.
