My FSIR Spin 5
I built this in 2018 and it's been great ever since. I even took it touring, traveling the length of South Korea. Zero problems throughout. All in all a fantastic light and affordable bike.
Under 9.5kg taking into account the additional weight of the Topeak Java bottle cage (120g) and the Tern Luggage Truss (195g).

I've always thought this was a cool design, too bad they are no longer made (that I know of).
What do you clip into that Klickfix luggage truss? I have the same one on my Downtube 8H but have had trouble finding bags/baskets that fit it and don't interfere with the front wheel.

Just yesterday I dug them out and planned to install them, but ended up doing other things instead. Holy mother of Christ, it rained gangbusters last night, and it's only about to get started. The start of the rainy season is signaled by the night time arrival of termites in their winged stage of development -- dedalu, the Balinese call them, laron in plain Indonesian. They still haven't arrived so there's time still.

I always enjoy reading about and seeing bikes that are well maintained and used - not garage queens or wall hangers.

Climbed to 1,300+ masl to visit one of the island's top natural environments. Forged in fire and brimstone, it is one of the several outstanding crater lakes and collapsed volcano calderas of island SEAsia. In Bali alone, there are two such geological formations.
