the lightest possible uni

The stupidly expensive koxx frame are stupid and expensive. The xtp is
withing a few grams of the KH20, so go with that. You could do some
simple thing to make your uni lighter.
-Cut down on foam
-14g spokes
-CF seatbase and handle/bumper
-KH frame
-drilled rims, though not a good idea for big
-type of tube in you have
-aluminum or CF seat post
-KH cranks

If you have this set up, you could have a uni that weighs less than
5000g.

If you replace the torker frame with a KH, you'd only save a few
hundred grams. It is the set up that is light that makes a light set
up. 😉

Kh frame
kh hub
monty 221 Ti rim
Titanium spokes
alloy nipples
quax isis cranks
distortion pedals with that titanium spindle
carbon seat
aluminum seatpost

That should be a couple pounds lighter than a kh.

Kh cranks are tanks, gota change those for weight savings.

It comes in only 32 holes. That sucks.
If 32 holes are in the game, Echo has their rims at 50 grams lighter
than the Ti Monty, is 5mm wider, but
is 32 hole.

Ryan Atkins has said that he thiks the drilled rims are alot stronger
than the non drilled ones.

It's all been pretty much said above, I don't agree with the Aluminium
seatpost ideas because they're too weak, and Carbon Fibre seatposts are
plain dumb, the weight you save on the seatpost is balanced by the
steel rail bracket you will need to put the saddle on. There's plenty
of weight in the frame so yeah, you could easily save on that, at the
moment the lightest TRIALS frame is the KH, somewhere around 570 grams
I think, the XTP is something like 650 grams and the oversized alloy
Qu-Ax is 750 grams, the heaviest aluminium frame I think but also the
strongest. I'm just going to be a little stupid and tell you to put the
Qu-Ax 24" race frame on haha, it's 430 grams, some Qu-Ax ISIS cranks,
any good ISIS hub (not Koxx), Wellgo magnesium pedals, the Monty Ti
rim, lightweight spokes, Creepy Crawler tire, light tube, CrMo seatpost
and a carbon seatbase, any low-profile foam, any handles.

well i'd cut the [censored] with the KH hub and cranks and go straight for
koxx-one hub and cranks.

the kh hub + 137 cranks are 8 grams heavier than the koxx-one
reinforced hub and cranks that are 140mm long.

My new uni should be pretty light:
07 KH frame
07 KH rim
koxx hub/cranks (125mm)
creepy crawler
Hoffman pedals
carbon fiber seat
CF bumper
CF handle (deathgrip)
thin sliver of foam
probably a steel post now and a custom aluminum reinforced post later

Oh and most of those parts are orange so that makes it even better.
Should be all together at the end of this week or beginning of next
week.

Bah, if you really want a light uni, who need seat foam? CF seat,
handle, bumper, no cover, aluminum of CF post, cut down as much as
possible, KH alu frame, profile titanium hub+cranks, mag pedals,
titanium spokes and niples, monty Ti rim, CC with helium and some
lightweight tube.

CF seat, handle, bumper, aluminum of CF post, , KH alu frame, profile
titanium hub+cranks (cut down and rewelded (well) to correct length,
mag pedals, titanium spokes and niples, monty Ti rim, CC and some
lightweight tube.

Now you get to the light freak part. Who needs seat foam? Out the
window. How 'bout a cover? Nope, out the window. Cut down your post,
make sure to get it in 22.2, shim down the frame if need be. Weight
will even out to be less between smaller post and shims. Cut down the
frame neck. Get the KH '05 clamp or similar. All the pins in those
pedals? Get them in aluminum. Take them out in one side, and just make
sure you always ride with the pinned side. Helium in the tire. Finaly,
strip off all the paint.

There is pretty much the lightests uni possible without compromising
strength too much.
