11kg for a fixie? My geared bike[*] is lighter than that ...
| Quote: |
Frame: Hi-ten steel.
Forks: Tig welded Hi-ten steel |
and that's probably why. In IT industry terms I would describe these as "bugs, not features"
[*] well, one of them. The other is a bit heavier, I think, but that was weighed with rack and pannier attached |
