Fairly heavy at >4lbs for the frame only, but a fantastic ride nevertheless. The White Brothers fork is more maintenance-heavy than a RS SID but feels slightly better once tuned; it looks great too!

Your bike is gorgeous. If you ever need to lose the bike for any reason I will be happy to take it off your hands.

makes me think of sierra nevada pale ale, not unripe bananas; minty fresh tires too - White Bros fork does look awesome. Tough as nails.
