The ULTIMATE Weight Weenie Build Guide! *Tarmac SL8*

Still BLOWN away by the final outcome of this bike, I know it is an expensive build but this is the first time I have seen a 13lb bike as a stock paintjob and a lot of big name items that still hold normal bike riding properties like a 2x setup or a 50mm depth wheel, and also 28c tires, there are still so many options to make this build lighter and also the bike is a stock paint job as a 52.... If you are interested in a build list comment below and let me know if you like..... Also I would love to hear your recommendations for the customer on what he can do next for the build.... Like I said in the video this is what the customer likes to do with there hobby and this is what they enjoy, not everything is about performance or saving money, All that matters is the customer loves what he does and loves what he rides.

Crazy light weight wallet too

I don't care what others think, I love white frames. They just look clean and pro.

I recently built a custom paint CAAD12 for customer. Dura Ace 11sp & Sram Red mix, rim brake, lightweight finishing kit. My own hand built 50mm carbon wheels, tpu, 25mm tyres. 6.38kg Inc pedals, bottle cages, computer mount. Cost £4k all in. He's since rode around 2,000miles on it & totally faultless.

Normally id be trolling in the comments, but im actually impressed, nice weight conscious build without crazy weak parts. 👍

Great climbing bike to dominate those Florida Strava KoMs

there must be a bunch of trolls in the comments or something. What I see here is a Porsche GTS bike, its a work of art. I love it.

I think the price of everything was as interesting if not more interesting than the weight savings.

Another place to save weight and it doesnt cost alot at all is to replace all the bolts to Ti. (Caliper mounts, bottle cage, rear hanger and jockey wheels, shifters and hose clamps, stem bolts, top cap) Maybe also the the axles in the pedals to Ti if it doesnt interfer with the power meters. Change out the stock hanger to a direct mount and the rear cassette to a Zoney with the gold spider. The total weight saved with a bolt kit change may only be 30g BUT in the world of marginal gains, there is a huge difference between a 6.02Kg build and a 5.99kg build. All-in-all despite it being a flex build, it really has come together very well.

Oh she’s a beauty! Love the tan walls! Also it’s great to see people have worked hard in their jobs. And because of their hard work they’re able to buy a bike like this. It’s their just reward!

Amazing build 🤩

what a build ! love it... bikes like these make rim brake groupies change sides

I always watch your videos & I don’t ride road bikes. Just great videos. Beautiful project! I ride my sub 20 lb Epic HT on the road with with gravel tires to get my weight weenie fix.

Love my Berk saddle

Maaaaan! I like it the way it is, but to each their own. 👍🏾Right On✊🏽

Oh yeah! That’s special.

Thnx! I think I want the new Factor Ostro Vam.

Cerakote is the lightest, most durable bike paint that I know of. I use it on my AR rifle builds, and now I see some bike manufacturers using it - including Blackheart.

Berk are simply the best saddles. Period. I have lighter saddles than the Lupina but they just don't have the same comfort. Respect to the customer for his top saddle choice 🙂

Love it. The roval out front computer mounts are heavy af so he should definitely get a titanum version.
