the july/august issue of road bike action magazine features an article on framebuilder nick crumpton and his one-off fixed-gear climbing bike that weighs 7.1 pounds. estimated cost of the black beauty is roughly $14,000. it's an amazing looking machine that features lots of carbon, ti and some aluminum. the front brake lever assembly is nothing more than an L shaped piece of carbon attached to the brake cable, which is attached directly to the integrated carbon bar/stem combo. here's the url to the story and some photos. one can dream.
