It got a little <strong>heavier</strong> (1.6kg = 3.5lbs) and according to the guys it can take some light <strong>street</strong> riding and as many whoppers as you like.

All that toptube and it still only weighs 3.5lbs!!! Nuts!!!!!!

If they know it can take some light street riding then they must have broken some riding light-middleweight street. . .

Take as many whoppers as you like. What a stupid comment... Any frame can take a countless number of perfect whoppers by a dialled pro rider. . .and nothing can last forever either!
i will never trust a frame lighter than 1.8 kg.
and i am talking about 18.5-18.7 tt.
if a 20.5 frame weights 1.6 kg then its common sense that it will crack in 6 months or sooner.
i might crack this in the seatstays-chainstays metal bridge even sooner, with that stand over height.

Its a shame i want to like ABT, but i have to agree with 13.5". Its too light especially for the longer top tube'd version. Also what worries me is to get it that light they've used super thin tubing then heat treated it, thats just asking for cracking.

not really a stupid comment. ive seen a crap load of dailed pro riders break many different types of frames doing whoppers. now if it really holds up to that only time will tell

not sure u guys know this but....

only the 19'' tt weights 1.6kg.

the 20.5'' weights +/-1.8kg


the average 20'' frame is around 2 - 2.2kg

the abt frame with micro dropouts+small seatstays-chainstays+ low seat tube= +/-200g less weight?

make sense to me though.

You can buy a complete for $533.00.  Back in the the day you could get frame and forks for $150 to $180. 
All things in life are temporary. If going well...enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong don’t worry, they can't last long either.

It's a shame its ABadThing, because this is exactly the type of frame id love to ride. Maybe in a 20" aswell....



take off the sticker and stop hatin'
on brand name alone

will that help?
