7 pound fixed-gear climbing bike!

bhj1
the july/august issue of road bike action magazine features an article on framebuilder nick crumpton and his one-off fixed-gear climbing bike that weighs 7.1 pounds.  estimated cost of the black beauty is roughly $14,000.  it's an amazing looking machine that features lots of carbon, ti and some aluminum.  the front brake lever assembly is nothing more than an L shaped piece of carbon attached to the brake cable, which is attached directly to the integrated carbon bar/stem combo.  here's the url to the story and some photos.  one can dream.  http://www.rbaction.net/fly.aspx?layout=content&taxid=96&cid=165
