Anyone ever try to do a lightweight Multitrack build? Still with gears, just with lightweight parts.
Under 22 lbs. would be sweet - feasible? Someone above posted their 1x drop bar conversion weighing 23.5 lbs, but it had fat tires and 1,800g wheels. Seems like sub 22 would be possible without going too crazy.
I have a 21 inch 1992 790. Over covid it was my project bike and I have had it in many different configurations. The lightest it ever was was in full road race mode at 22 lbs with fast and light road tires, lightweight seat, seatpost, and handlebars and about 1800g wheels. This was in a 2x 10 setup with a square taper bottom bracket, so it still had some extra weight it could shed. I'm toying with the idea of messing with it again and going for a 1x gravel race configuration in the 21 lb range. Please share your journey if you go down this route!
