12lb cx bike. 2015 carbon focus bike edition.



The above is the only cantilever focus carbon cx bike for 2015.  The frame is 820 grams for 56, the fork is 420 grams, uncut.  Will be 1.3 lbs lighter than my already super light sl frameset from last year.

Complete bike with descent parts, 105 and fulcrum wheels is $2400msrp.  A bargain.  I'll be building it up with most of my parts with a few changes from last years build.    Dropping 2 lbs. off a 14 lb. cx bike and still have it durable to race a 20 race schedule should be easy.

Upgrades.
