I just can’t give up that kind of practicality. I didn’t know Paul components would save me any weight but I’m glad if they do. My Velo Orange levers were pretty feather-light already though.  I probably do have the Platy set up as light as I dare, save the drivetrain stuff from White Industries. And Richard has a good point that all that money would only save me a third of a pound.

Otherwise you have it set up fairly light from what I remember about your posts. Paul components will sure help shave some grams. When weight is brought up the first thing Grant would say is take weight off the engine. Well I just took a massive amount of weight off the engine so I feel that I am now free and clear to be a weight weenie about the bike. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
