Dented, it's hard to believe your Jeffson weighed that much... where exactly was the weight? Maybe the frame was full of mojo?

Rat is 12kg on the nose.

Here is my new toy, its a KHS solo which was red with a blue fork which didnt stay those colours for long. I wanted something retro and was keen to copy an old mtb from the early 90's. The Klein Attitude came to mind as I really liked that bike as a young lad when got into mtb racing back when i was 10. Being a spraypainter for my job i got a few colours brewed up at work a shimmyed home a got the frame preped up, got the compressor out, cut the clothes line and tied it to the shed and sprayed the bike outside on a stinking hot chch day..the paint was drying beofre it got to the frame! the idea went to plan and finished it off with a mean green pearl which i used on a 1971 Dodge Charger. Its not finished yet as i need to get some stickers made, im going to call it a "KLONE Attitude" and in the same fonts.

Kudos to Brendongs for his inspired SS. Nice and different.

Thought I would post my machine. Nice and fast, quite light too.

This was also a primo opportunity to showcase my veggie garden :cool:

It is a chop job. It is an old Marin, Pine Mtn.

Still not intirely sure what colour to paint it, will have a pair of silver Fox forks on it, so was thinking a shade of blue.

Take a look at the citroen range of absinthe colours. The painter at the top of cuba does it. Incredible colours.

Soz... 27.4lbs.

Bloody, old stick-in-the-mud biker dudes that won't convert to metric.

:paranoid:

My black one above in my super veggie garden is a smidge over 18lb.

Keepin' da pounds down.

It all works well and is durable strong gear. I'm looking forward to attempting a solo at the Moonride on it. But i'm a trifle nervous about the rigids. We'll see.
