Lightweight Cross Bike #16: Pete's Ridley



Another really cool lightweight Cross machine is Pete’s Ridley Supercross. A good choice of lightweight parts that are still durable. Check it out!







Here's the specs on my Ridley. I don't have individual weights, onlythe cumulative weight.

I would serioulsy consider:

a) Throwing some chain guides/guards and and/or a 3rd eye for that front ring. You can get some carbon chi chi to match that FSA crank set.

b) Taking somke links out of that chain. WAY too much it appeas given you are in the lowest gear in teh back and the derailleur is still pretty slack.

The confifuration as it looks in teh pics has disaster written all over it...meaning you'll be spending time putting your chain back on during races rather than stayting at the front!
