Status: Active
Giant Trance X3, 2012 model featuring the Aluxx frame with a 5.0" Maestro link, came with a Shimano Deore/SLX set, Fox suspension, Giant wheels and accessories.
Used bike... Upgrades: see below.
[1] Hope/Crest wheelset without QR, with rim tape
[2] These were bought some 15 years ago and were "found" at home when searching for light tyres :)
Complete bike weight started at ~13.5 kg with pedals, without bottle cage etc. Update: Weight is now (summer 2014) down to 12,5 kg or less.
Displayed weights were measured by me.
