I have converted my Gary Fisher Mt Tam to Singlespeed and put rigid forks on for the commute... Knocked loads of weight off!

to put it into perspective, I looked at buying an all mountain bike this time last year and I cannot believe how light a 5" travel bike is now. I bought a Specialized stumpjumper FSR Expert in the end. Full suspension bikes had only just been thought of when I started racing in 1996. amazing the development of these things... especially when you look at how long it took Land Rover to go from a series 1 to a discovery 3! hahahaha!

I still have a set of XTR cantilevers at home :) along with mojo peace symbol wire "bridges", (what were they called?).

hmmmm... Ebay? :D
 
Yeah, I've run this before with rigids, skinny tyres, single chainwheel (but with rear cassette) etc

I'd keep the cantis, I doubt you'd get anything for them, they're only really for posteritys sake ... and yes, I think they were called bridges or bridles ... ;)
 
Looks decent Paul :) I could shave off another half pound to mine but not much more than that. I could always have a good dump before I ride and shave more off the combined weight LOL. But yeah no point in having a bike thats so light you would be scard to ride it!

This was a little while ago. Only difference now is I have an Alien Cyclops Carbon seatpost on now. P.s the Santa Cruz stickers were put on by the previous owner, it is a Coyote Easton HT5 (before they started making the crap they are associated with these days)
