Crazy, wonder what the guy was riding it wieght was?

 

[curlysurfer]

too many spokes, and they have J bends. spoke nipples too long. headset topcap, get rid of that. gears, gone. shave tread off tyres. remove all logos. :roll:

I've dropped things in the toilet heavier than that. Much respect to the builder and time put into building such a weapon!

That adds up to 2967.7 grams. Disappointing, 10% over claimed weight

Also lists 6 speed, but the pic has 10 speed
