Haha

I bet that is true !
I didnt fully understand your statement about price per weight shaved though hehe

My inseam is as well 34'' or 86,5cm.. so 18,5'' will be perfect

I calculated that the budget I will spend will be less then 2000€ (for a 7,7kg XC rocket i think that is cheap)
To be fair, some components have been and will be bought used, or auctions.


Some of the components have been bought:

Seatpost: china 27.2x400mm - 137g (will probably be cut down and tuned later on)
Brakes: Shimano XTR m987 brakes - 400g with 2Ti / 2 Alu bolts
Rotors: china Ashima copy 160/160 - 151g with 12Ti bolts
Crankset: FSA SL-K Modular 30T garbaruk  -  500g (estimate)
Rear der.: - XTR m986 rear der. - 200g (tuned)
Shifter - XTR m980 shifter - 100g
Cassette: Sram XX 11-36 - 207g


I hope that the frame will weight MAX 1200g with headset.. if so, i will hit my target easy
