70,8 from the last picture was to close, i could not resist and had to do something to lose 0.9g and come under 70g
Its really raw this derailleur but it works.

Impressive! You could probably lose another 0.3g by cleaning it ;)

I think you can shave a bit the area around the main bolt like guy from this project--> https://www.bikerumor.com/2012/01/19/ha ... erailleur/

And make some cosmetic job with cage,to make it look "rounder,dont give me wrong but it look like painted in Paint :)

There is an Ax Lightness Ax6000 fork on EBay right now. 220 grams or lighter with a cut steerer. Are you still looking for a THM Scapula SP fork?

I get questions about the wire for the rear derailleur.
I made a hole above the derailleur bolt and made a carbonpipe which fits in this hole and even down where the housing usually gets in. In the carbonpipe there is even a liner and all together has 1,5g
With this i can have a really light housing and i do not need the wirestop at the frame any longer. saved me a lot of weight this system.

It was a Tiso from the beginning.
Changed
- complete carbon cage
- carbon pulleys
- all parallelogram pins to carbon
- one alu parallelogram part rebuild in carbon
- carbon screw
- some metal work

And yes it looks really raw but i do not care to much that i do the finishing
