ParticipantHow much does that front brake + lever weigh?
I spy an eccentric rear hub.

I’m pretty sure it would drop into high 13’s without the brake. Good eye, ENO eccentric hub is the key to converting any road bike.

I didn’t even notice this part of the post until well after I thought to myself “that bike is Johnny Five!”

A better picture of mine. :p
Rod and I had a weigh-off of our work bikes at potluck a couple weeks back. Minus the trailers and crates and panniers, of course, but including my tool bag and pump.
He “won” by a mile! His bike was well over 40 pounds if I remember right — mine was like 35 or something.
Mine equipped for apple pie delivery today:

Hilarious.
Did your bike come with canti rear brakes and direct pull V brakes up front? Also is the front a mini-v brake? I didn’t think integrated brake/shifters worked with long pull V brakes.The reason I’m asking is I’m planning a drop bar conversion on a bike with V-brakes and about to order mini-V’s to work with Tiagara shifters.

That’s awesome. So Rod is in the lead with 40lbs, I think Pete can beat that.

ParticipantA most dubious distinction. For the record it’s sub 40! 😡
I’m putting on a rigid fork, the stock shock is cooked. I’m hoping that will take a few pounds off.

Nice bike. I like Burke Lake, especially in the winter months when there’s less people on the trail.

Farmington Canal Heritage Trail by thetejon, on FlickrDoing a little riding while up in Connecticut for Thanksgiving. The trail was a little disappointing – the website talks about this 80 mile rail trail, but then you realize that most of that is in the “design” stage, and what you actually have is 4 miles full of stop signs. Still, nice to get out.
Also, I realized how lucky we are in this area – Southington, CT, is far from bike-friendly. The 30MPH road we stayed on had no shoulder (or even sidewalks for the most part) and the cars were doing much more than 30. I got buzzed a few times on a 25mph road with no traffic in the opposite direction. Drivers here may be crazy, but at least we have some options.
