I have a tendency to spend dumb money on things. I bought a gram scale back in college when I was into mountain bikeing to weigh mountain bike tires at the store. I weighed everything. Seatposts, handlebars, etc. I recall at one point the standard once you reached a certain point was 1000 bucks a pound to lose more weight.... :surprise:
My ZRX, while not to the utmost extent, has undergone some of that same scrutiny when mods were involved. BST wheels, lightweight battery, ti bolts, custom aluminum kickstand, custom titanum gun drilled front and rear axles as well as the swingarm piviot and on and on and on. (Still need to have the crank shaved at some point lol)
Now my attention is turning towards the Z at the moment as it's the newest toy. I am going to drain the gas when I get home from my trip and see what she weighs on the old scales while it is still completely stock. I know it will be a long process as the bike is too new and replacement parts hardly exist at the moment but it should be a fun journey to see what can be done.
Mirror mirror on the wall, where is the lightest Z of them all??? lol.
Is anybody else here as goofy as me??:nerd:
