Possibly will do by the end of the day, I'm stripping mine down. How far down do you want? Headset and BB included or not!?

18" 29.5lb (digi scales from ceiling) with that big steerer now cut. As you can see from the build, I'm hardly "trying" with the weight... Going back to floats not vanillas, and more a xc front tyre and bar/stem should see it drop towards 28 comfortably enough. Orange claim a frame weight of 6.8 I think.

Cheers both this is really useful, coopersport any combo of frame shock headset etc will be great thanks as I can calculate it from there. Am not trying too hard either but would like to lose a bit of weight against my original reign if possible.

Cheers

27 .8 lbs, stans zxr rims db spokes, tubeless, carbon bars thompson post and stem (50mm) xt crankset, sram 7 rear mech , xt cassette and front changer, hope mono minis 160 mm discs flight saddle and Pikes. So could get lighter with Fox Forks.
A flying machine that feels very planted.
