Losing weight...

[Pikey]

Crappy cold from work stops me from riding since Friday, so starting to feel a bit emo...

So on the advice of a few forum members in a previous thread I ordered some rebas for my lonely mtb.
How effing light are they, I've worked out that I have shed a kilo from the bike when compared to the old rst forks that were on there.

I like that type of weight loss! Might make up for the pounds gained whilst languishing in snotty misery.

Sneezing in sweet anticipation of getting them muddy.

Tyres and wheels next, then chainset, then you'll be weighing your stem and seatpost, changing to a Ti-railed saddle...................
This is THE list:

Yes this is could become a worrying obsession...

The wheels were changed two months ago for lighter...

Titanium saddle rails, hmm...

O no its beginning.

I bought a Marin Sausalito a couple of years ago and used it for casual rides. I promised I,d do Hadrians Cycleway this year so I looked at ways of improving the bike. It came with some really crappy and heavy suntour suspension forks which I recently replaced with some columbus carbon cross forks..what a difference !! Its so much faster off the mark and uphills and the whole geometry of the bike was dramatically improved. I have since upgraded the saddle and seatpost and next in line is the stem and perhaps the handlebars. I cannot understand why Marin put such junk on a nice frame. I got the bike for less than half price off a guy who had put about 40 miles on it so I keep telling myself that the initial big saving justifies my recent spends. I now have a 21 lbs hybrid bike in lovely condition and its cost me under £600 in total..dont tell my missus though !!
