Cross Diet

After a great debutant season of cyclocross and some spring / summer commuting, I've put the trusty XO on a diet. Initial weigh-in, sans race wheels (spare wheels mounted instead) lights, seatbag, and H2O cages.... 22 lbs. Starting with a bold first move to a Bontrager Race X Lite ACC (aluminum core carbon) seatpost.. already down to 21 lbs. Things yet in store.. a new Alpha Q carbon fork, better stronger / lighter custom build rear race wheel, new shifters / derailleurs, and the secret weapon... courtesy of Doc Brown and Marty, the workings of a hover board with flux capacitor.
