Well I eventually got my bike back together and the bits arrived... altho there may be 1 or 2 little upgrades left before I will be entirely happy heres how it is:.... I wasnt bothered asking to use sum1s credit card to order a scales so I got my hands on this ghetto scales...( I know you will not believe if it's accurate and I have doubts of it too...) but the overall weight which it shows is just above 38lbs....*see scales* no camera tricks,parts missing or bike being supported!! I would imagine realistically it is about 40lbs...heres the pics and specs: Headset:chris king stem:thomson x4 50mm bars:easton monkeylite carbon brakes:shimano xtr w 7" rear hope rotor 8" front grips:yeti lock on forks/shock: fox 40rc2/dhx5.0 ti spring chain device: e13 lg1 with tacho saddle/post: sella italia skn/ easton ec90 carbon cranks: middleburn rs7 wheels: chris king hubs mavic 721 rims dt spokes high rollers cassette:shimano xtr chain:sram 991 rear mech:shimano xtr pedals syncros mental mag will hopefully get a full bike photo soon as photobucket dus not want to upload 1 at the moment...and i need to go! catch yas later! 38lbs sound nice haha

Nice work,
Can you tell me more about the cranks, isis or square?, Middleburn DH ring? what BB? I guess you've saved a bucket of weight there over the traditional saint option.

cuthberm and shaneward202, are you coming to Tribemeet 2008? It would be awesome to see at least three yeti 303 (including mine) there. nice work, I really like it, also keen to hear about middleburn etc, maybe some weights etc. where did you get your LG1 with taco? on my side *I am getting new wheels: red DT440 hubs, sapim cx-ray spokes, brass nipples, mavic 823 rims. They should be ready within 3weeks ;D * My fox40 is getting titanium spring and new top crown, boxxer style stem mount with sunline boxxer stem * Instead of thomson masterpiece post I decided to go for KCNC Pro Ti post which should be around 110grams just to 280mm length. * Still no money for other updates but it does not matter, I will try to get all my parts fitted by the Tribemeet 2008 (thanks Andrew for making that happening) Jerzy Ps. shaneward202, where are you located?

ye...the cranks are the isis version ....the arms weigh 416g 55g for the spider and not exatly sure of the chainring weight..but theres not much in a chainring...the bb is an fsa platinum dh 83mm isis.... there is a good bit of a weight saving there compared to saints weighing roughly 1200g....the only thing is they are isis which a lot of people dont like compared to external...but im fairly light on a bike so ill see how they hold up... As for the e 13 with tacho..I work in a bike shop and order them from silverfish uk...the tacho is a sawn in half supercharger bash guard which used to be your only option but now the e 13 factory are making suitable "tacho" bashguards for the lg1. Also those syncros pedals are sweet saved a good bit over my easton cullys and lots of grip! Jerzy...upgrades sound cool...gonna go for the ti spring myself but waiting on mojo to get a delivery of the blue spring weight as I need the light spring so the forks move! I'm in Dublin Ireland...would love to go to the tribemeet...but looking doubtful as ive two leaving cert exams next day...If I can I will...maybe study on my way over and and practice some acceleration and gravity experiments over there...fingers crossed!

shaneward202,
where about are you in Dublin? I happen to be travelling to Dublin mid March (for St. Patrick's Day) so I may pop in and have a chat.
How do you like your syncros pedals? I like the way they look but from what I remember they are quite expensive.
Can you post a picture of your whole bike?
thanks

I ordered my ultimate scales through Aspire Velo Tech on eBay. About £35 delivered from the states.
