Here’s a sub-30lb er that didn’t break in the alps:
Actual weight as it is on that chairlift (Alpine Sports Feedback Scales) = 29.01lbs/13.16Kgs.
Alp-ified along the same lines as Northwind, with Alex FR30 rims and Superstar hubs plus Specialized Butcher SX (f) and Specialized Purgatory Grid (r). Plus I put a Zee front brake on it from my DH bike.
In UK spec, with Light Bicycle 33mm rims and Hope Pro IIs plus Butcher and Purgatory Controls it is 27.36lbs/12.41Kgs.
Oh, it’s a Giant Reign 2 with 160mm dual-position Pikes, Reverb, 203/180mm discs, running 1 x 10 with One-Up 42t rear and 34t Works Components N/W, Superstar Mag Alloy flats with Ti axles, Renthal Carbon Fatbar lites, TiFly saddle etc.
