someone must have one of these frames by now.do you have pictures of it built up?do you know how much it wheighs? I want to build up a lighter bike(32 pounds or so) using the 243 light frame and a sherman flick or jumper. anyone have any insight on alex supra D rims? what are some other LIGHT streetesque frames that can be ridden easily on trails and stuff like whistlergarbanzo.

thanks!

alex super d's are super good. I had them on my ht..still have the front one. But they are alot stronger than a single track. Help up fine for every type of riding. I would get them again for sure. By the my bike weighs 33 pounds with a flick, 6 pound steel frame, alex super d's, hussefelts and so on.

i have one... sry no pics though. ill have pics soon.

i wasnt too concerned about weight when building it... i suppose mine would be pretty light if i were to get rid of the .243 block stem and chromo bars.



or maybe carbon fiber steer tube spacers? :D :rolleyes:

btw thats 36 lbs with a sherman jumper, trailpimps, etc.

and again thats without concern for weight at all. You were trying to save weight when building it you could have it in the low 30s or high 20s even.

that's awesome,so close to how i want to build one, could you swap the street tires for like a 2.5 highroller without rub issues?
