29er / CS-057 Build Planning
« on: June 25, 2016, 04:12:49 AM »
hi all. im in the planing stages of building up a -057 frame. id like to list my pile of parts and would like to have some feedback or suggestions. thanks!

CS-057 frame: approx 1270g (all carbon components will be classic 3k weave)
Neco headset: approx 65g
Wheelset:        approx 1480g
Funn 80mm arrow head stem: 130g (100mm)
Funn 710mm flame one bar: 200g
Zee brakes: 306g x 2 - i know there are lighter brakes but im 195lbs and i use brakes as an afterthought because im dumb
alligator starlite rotors: 180mm = 120g, 160mm = 90g - i know these will reduce the zee's effectiveness slightly. at least, thats my expectation. thats the reason for the larger size.
shimano XT 1x11 drivetrain:
Sunrace MX8 11-42: 401g This cassette is cheaper and slightly lighter than any of the 3 XT m8000 cassettes
derailleur: 273g 
shifter: 126g
chain: 257g
cranks: approx 600g w/170mm arms
AB black series 32t chainring: 46g (stock is 89g for 32t) $10 price difference between the 2. no brainer imo
XTR M980 bottom bracket: 89g
front and rear thru axles, non qr: apprx 40g each
esi chunky grips: 60g
carbon seat: 130g
dmr seat clamp: 15g
SP4 seatpost: 200g
rockshox reba rl 120mm: 1664g
headset spacers: 20g at most
ardent 2.4 exo/tr: 800g
ikon 2.35: 695g

total: 9432g approx, or 20.8lbs

im guessing cutting the steerer tube and trimming seatpost will help slightly. rest of the bike is right where i want it parts wise. Then, itll be a waiting game. =]

Peter returned my email this morning. Yay! I have about a week before I can start purchasing parts.
