Title: Q: what's the weight of a razorback
Post by: proflex252 on August 23, 2005, 09:24:18 am

Hi Folks!

I just bought a look fork. Shall be very light (some 1300 g) and stiff with 80 mm travel.
Should be a perfect match for a lightweight cc / marathon fully.

Just thought about a razorback in size m

Did anyone put that frame on a postale scale or something?

At least it looks light and if it is I tend to buy one and build a exrem lightweight thing.
Just thought about all that "tune" stuff like:
tune cranks (shall be under 700 g with those carbon/titan chainrings and the BB with ceramic ballbearings, but the price kills you. See: http://www.tune.de/Prodikte%20Mountainbike/Carbonkett.htm  )
tune stem or maybe a ritchey wcs because it lighter
tune bar ends (60g)
tune wheelset (some 1450g)
tune squewers and seatclamp (53g plus 30g) http://www.tune.de/Prodikte%20Mountainbike/Schnellspannerinfo.htm
tune bottle cage (9g) http://www.tune.de/ProdukteGoodies/Flascehnhalterinfo.htm
that combined with a XO (or does anyone know a lighter one on the market?)
Schmolke or Easton carbon bar
Avid V Brakes
crank brother eggbeaters
and one of my custom made carbon saddle / post combis (250 g in total) should be possible to go under 10 kg in total

Any further suggestions? All parts shall be lightweight but allday proof.

But first of all I need to know the weight of that frame in M to decide if it's worth the effort (and thousands of Euros, arghhhh!).

CU and hope to get some good replys

Matti

Thx, but no weight info on that site.
Maybe I should contact k2 itself by mail.

But I remember some years ago I asked them a question and they did not respond.

So, didn't anyone ever put his razorback on the scale?

Perhaps this will help.

Go to Listings on the top menu bar and you'll find LOTS of stuff.

They have two Razorback frames listed. Frames only, but it's better then what you've got now.
