Been rebuilding mine with disc brakes and some other goodies. It comes out to be about 31-32 lbs.

Just wondering if this is heavy or light for a San Andreas.

I had one that was 52 lbs. Didn't last long with that build though.:nono:

Mine is about 32.5 with the toolkit on it.
I have Sun Rhyno rims with XT hubs and Wheelsmith 14g spokes, Avid BB 7 brakes, Truvative riser bar, Specialized S works stem, Race Face seat post, Specialized Rival saddle, 06 Manitou Minute 2 fork, 06 Manitou Swinger 3-way coil shock, Shimano LX Hollow Tech 2 drivtrain with XT pods, ODI Lock On grips and Maxxis 2.4 Advatage front with a 2.35 Minion DHF on the rear, tubed.

Later, Eric.

Current ride - 32 lbs with the vanilla coil rear shock and V-brakes on my 2000 with 6" rear and 5" front travel. (black fork photo)

I had a 2003 at 28 lbs with 4" front and rear travel and Avid discs (red fork photo) for a 24 hour race.

I bet you could get one down to 26-27lbs with out too much.

Are those Nokian Boazobeana's on the back of the 03 with the red fork?

Whoa!!! I just weighed mine after stripping all the fenders and lights and mine is still 29 lbs.

How the heck did you get to 24 lbs???

I have:

Hope Pro II hubs with Mavic 717s and an XTR 11/34 cassette
FSA K-Force Lite Crankset
Avid BB7
San Marco Aspide carbon seat

Not many more places I can drop weight. :( I have a Thompson Masterpiece seat post coming in.

Actaully all the lightweight parts I just got was to make up for the increased weight from my Magura rim brakes to the Avid BB7s. I guess I should be glad to be where I am at.

Dura Ace 11 -23 cluster,Sram 89r hollow pin chain,AM Classic hubs ,Mavic 717 rims, DT Revolution spokes &alloy nipples ,Specialized Ultralight tubes ,Michelin XCR slicks, Deus X cranks ,Eggbeater SL pedals,Sram XO rear ,X9 front ,XO twist shifts ,FSA XC 190 bar ,XC 115 100mm stem, Cane Creek S2 head fittings ,Reba race forks,Hope Mono M4 front 180 mm 2 piece rotor, Mono Mini rear ,140 mm 2 piece rotor,FSA SLK carbon post ,SDG TI Fly saddle ,Cane Creek Cloud Nine rear shock , I also replaced all the bolts with stainless steel button heads with further lightening carried out on the larger ones like the swing arm pivots ,that did not save a lot of weight but it sure looks better ! just trying to get some titanium at the moment so I can make up some ti bolts etc .:) I should have my forks on Monday so will be able to finish the build on my new San An which will be the one for XC same build exept 07 Juicy 5 160 rotors , X fusion 02RL rear shock , X9 rear derailer,PG 990 11-34 , FSA XC 300 wheels ,Maxxis Larson TT 2.0 tyres :thumbsup:

28.6 lbs as pictured but with a new Progressive Suspension Ti spring that I scored off e-bay for $33.

Short term improvements, parts on the way include: Titec Pluto bar, Thomson stem, Sram Rocket trigger shifters and an '06 Manitou Minute 3, which is on it's way back from manitou because it didn't work.

Long term improvements include: Hayes Stroker Trail brakes and XT crank and BB set and possiblly a Hopey steering damper.

The steering damper will add a little weight, but with the rest I should be able to get it down to 28 lbs.

This San Andreas is 37Lb (17Kg) as you see, the rider can lift it ;)

The pic taken before crazy track to dead sea in Israel, from +60M down to -400M
On distance of 5.5 Km
It bone shaker!

With the shock I'm using for my S.A. frame I just got it worked out to be about 6.8 pounds for the frame itself. I've done 26 pound bikes with dual discs with that much frame weight countless times. Its not all that hard to do really.
