A 6-pound road bike
A 6-pound road bike
I've posted some pretty light bikes in the past. In 2006 seemed this 7-pound Crumpton fixie incredibly light for me. A few years later, German professional road bicycle racer Gunter Mai built a reduction road bike that approximately the same weight (3195 grams). Gunter not just built that bike for show or he claimed to drive up to 1000 kilometers per week.
According to a post on tririg.com Gunter, however, is no longer that bike ride. He parted the online earlier this year. Some of these components, including the custom spin frame and THM fork, were sold to a Colorado rider who they go to Jason Woznick of Fairwheel Bikes in Tucson into an even lighter road bike sent (that now spread around the Internet like wildfire).
VeloNews has a gallery of photos of the Woznick one-time 6-pound (2700 grams) bike that were taken at the Interbike last week.The TriRig post I mentioned before also has some great detail shots of the bike, and they discuss how it came to be and where some of the parts came from. many of the components are custom, but TriRig stresses that prototype carbon dash hubs on the bike in production in 2011 (30 grams for the front) and about 99 for the rear.
So. .. If the pattern continues and people keep pushing the limits, I'll be posting a custom bicycle of the 5-pound in a few years.What do you think? where is the bottom limit of road bike weight? as much as my friends on the UCI don't like it, I don't think we have seen it yet.

Overseas Chinese day
Overseas Chinese day
Today is day overseas Chinese Taiwan holiday inviting the enormous Chinese diaspora to visit Taiwan.This is a good excuse to say hello to expatriate Taiwan.Et friends Finally, it is an opportunity to talk about the Taiwan cycling Festival, taking place this month.
"Festival 2010 Taiwan cycling" consists of a series of activities that combines with bike tourism cycling competitions. The events will culminate this weekend with Taiwan Cup 2010 International Road Race, in which several Asian UCI with Rabobank teams will compete for NT$ 15 million (approximately $ 485,000 for the United States) price.
You've seen Mark Bracknell's Taiwan here at Cyclelicious dispatches.Some other familiar names the promenade include Beverly Garrity Cuptertino, AC and Mark Villegas Bike Hugger.
The Government of Taiwan is important to promote cycling as a form of environmentally friendly leisure Taiwan thrust, and they have built kilometres and kilometres of cycling trails in the part of the pays.Cyclisme is considered on the island, where a significant social stigma attached to utility leisure activity / transportational bike probably still the United States .the Department of Government and industry Taiwan bicycle transport work again, to try to change attitudes towards cycling.
Beverly explores some of these new paths last weekend, we say that the island is littered "with new tracks cycling and cycling to encourage riding recreational and tourism stations."It is in the middle of nowhere on an empty rail track and meeting "bike stations" that are fundamentally mini motorcycle shops with snack shops, maintenance support, toilets and even showers.
There is clearly a "build it and they will come" philosophy to Taïwan.Il work will be interesting to see how with success the Government and Giant bikes will be attracting renewed interest in cycling.
Read the report of Bev: 70 km of paths and trails.
