The cranks that have been carefully selected from a production batch of Zipp 300’s and then modified to weigh in at 304gr; there’s an incredible set of wheels by Troy Watson of Ligero Wheelworks featuring titanium bladed spokes, carbon nipples and pared-down Zipp 202 carbon rims.
Up front there’s a modified Schmolke handlebar with integrated brake lever matched to a custom Crumpton stem. Alpha Q have built a one-off, superlight fork for the project, described as “much lighter than standard; much, much lighter – too light to quote!”
On top, you’ll find a Crumpton manufactured carbon seatpost to hold the Becker Carbon/Kevlar saddle.
