What sort of weight are you expecting to hit with that new build?

Headlights of the Jetta will probably be next. I think my garage time is done for a while, it was bloody freezing in there today.

Hit the scales tonight....As she sits with pedals, bottle cage, Brookes saddle and a Exiwolf rear tire:

19.9lbs  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Racing weight should be nearer 18, if not sub 18lbs.

So vanity go the better of me and I was dying every time I rode those nice polished parts and CK components thru the snow, sluch, salt and grime...

Enter Niner 2 - The Winter Beater..

The Mary's are the most comfortable bar I have ever used. 

That said I don't feel "fast" riding them, hence why they are on this bike and not the race bike.  I'm probably just as slow using them but I definitely feel more aggressive with a standard lo-rise bar.
