Ali sent in his Ridley which he calls "light-ish". Ali, any cross bike under 16 pounds is just plain light in my book even if it is small. Nice rig.
"I just switched my drive train to Sram Rival from Ultegra/DA mix, the bikes weight dropped to 15.82. Almost .5 of a pound, it was somewhere over 16lbs with the Shimano. 34c mud tire setup brings weight to 15.85lbs.

Your x-fire is 48cm. I'm looking at the same frame. Can you tell me how tall you are and what size road frame you ride?
Thanks,
Scott
That is freakin awesome. I heard Andy JM had a sub 16lbs cross bike last season, but in a 58cm.
I'd love to get a hold of something this light to race, bet it makes barriers that much easier.
