And with this the first hat has been thrown in. . . if anyone can beat this weight send us a few pictures and a specification list. One of the pictures needs to be your bike on a working scale and it would need to be a dw-link model. And please no fake weights, non-functional builds or modified components since after all this is purely for bragging rights.
