If it has a Lefty, you have to stick with the wheels you have. Tires : Schwalbe Skinny Jimmy : 580 g
Saddle : Selle Italia SLR Bars and seatpost : Easton EC90 gears : SRam X.0 rear, LX (YES LX) front.
Cranks : If you're Hercules : Cannondale 44/31 doubles If you're a normal kinda bloke : FSA carbons
with Raceface racerings Discs : Hope Mini's or new XTR's but with Stan's Rotors Wheels : CrossMax SL
for Lefty's (Yes, they do exist) Helium in your tires and shocks (yes, they'll lose pressure fast,
which will make them even lighter, as long as you don't replace with air
) A Hydrogen filled
framecan is only available from C'Dale through the 'Hindenburg' upgrade program.
