I'm loving this frame. Feels just about perfect for me, and with the addition of new lighter wheels plus some other lighter parts, its quite a bit lighter than my last setup. I started riding again in 2018 and since then my bike has been slowly loosing weight. Started around 30 lbs (13.6 kg) i think and right before switching to this frame it was down to 23.6 lbs (10.7 kg). Now, with new frame and some other different parts, its down to 20.3 lbs (9.2 kg) and I am content with that.Currently riding with no brakes, but I tend to switch back and forth for periods of time. So this will add a couple pounds when I put them back on, maybe after the summer is over.The front wheel shown is my new wheel but I'm not actually using it yet. I just put it on for the photo but I am actually still using an old wheel because I am still working with Pat and Armour Bikes to see if they can replace/fix the hub under warranty. The delay in getting this done is not Pat or Armour Bikes fault, it's my fault. Pat asked for a video several weeks ago but I didn't get around to sending it until a couple days ago. Now I'm waiting to hear back.
Me too, they are probably the best fit for me that I've used over the years.The sequence hook stem, however, not so much. Just doesn't quite clamp powerfully enough even when tightened as tight as I can get it with an Allen key. It holds everything in place well enough for casual riding but once you start doing any hard landings or any hard crashes then the bars can move sometimes. So I've gone back to an older stem for the moment.
