Velobuild M-091
« on: September 07, 2018, 06:52:33 AM »
Hi all,

i'm new here, i recently took the plunge a bought a used Velobuild M-091 frame in large.
I'm looking forward to building it up into something special. My only quarm about it is that the seller said that it weighed 1700g, ive had it on our scales at work and it comes out at 1140g. I'm thinking that he may have sold me something a little more special than a stock M-091. Any thoughts?

It is the opposite. No worries, this is a normal weight for a hardtail frame.
1.7Kg would have been way too heavy.
