Insanity...
All you wieght wienies can just give it up, you'll never be diety status, like this guy and his exalted beast. Your dedication pales in comparison. Pure overkill reached only by psychos of high caliber.

Head over to Weight Weenies and look at the lightweight threads.
Lots of guys are building 9 lb bikes and putting big miles on them.
Gunter Mai was probably started the whole uber-light movement put 20k miles on a 3.2 kg bike.

Used TESA tape for bar tape...I can't see that stuff having much cushion at all. It's usually used to loom up wire harnesses in cars. GM likes to use it a lot. Just enough fuzziness to keep stuff from rattling under the dash. It's fairly tough but I can see the fuzz/softness of it coming off on your hands in fairly short order.

"Hang on tight going downhill." A little noodly, perhaps?
I am glad they didn't list the prices for all those parts. he probably pays more for bolts than I spent on my group set.

I actually wouldn't mind some carbon fiber bolts for a few grames off my denali build, that actually needs it. Still thinking if I should repaint or not after I strip off the super thick single stage paint.

Make that two.
BTW...Are you aware that Buddy Ebsen was originally cast as the Tin Man? Shortly after filming began he developed severe respiratory problems from the aluminum powder used in his makeup. He nearly died. He was quietly replaced with Jack Haley and the makeup changed.
