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!

Here is my '97 Multitrack 720. Great for running errands, getting groceries, and not using the car.

750 Racer

Amazing race this past Sunday, Paris to Ancaster 70km classic. Mix of road/gravel/rail trail/doubletrack/mudslides. Close to 2700 participants with many sections through beautiful private farmlands. Bike and body performed exceptionally well. Gunning for top 100 next year!

What a great looking build, the exact kind of bike I want to build my 750 into (if I can ever remove the frozen seatpost). What size tires are those that you are running?

My 790 on another bikepacking trip. Mix of pavement, gravel and singletrack out of Blue Ridge GA up to the Appalachian trail and back. These frames ride great at any weight but it's fun to load them up and be reminded of how well they handle it (52 lbs starting weight on this trip).
