How do you get on with the brakes?
I just got some eeBrakes and can’t imagine swapping them for single pivots.

The AX-Lightness 3000 brakes are great, look great, weigh close to nothing, only little draw back is that they don't really stop the bike. :p

Yet another 27,2 mm seatpost I made. This one is slightly longer (320mm and 110 grams) and made with Schmolke hardware. Gloss 2K finish.

Some updates to the R3. New handlebar and stem as well as a bling gold chain. :)

The handlebar and stem weighed in at 197,8 grams! saving me excatly 100,0 grams over the old Mcfk handlebar and stem. The Darimo stuff feels just as stiff and strong so no downside to the massive weight saving.

For marginal savings, you can replace IX2 bolts with hollow J&L bolts. Nice looking R3 👍
