Worlds lightest bike
To enthusiasts who appreciate weight conservation over classic construction, the invitation is akin to a saucy seduction. To those who prefer traditional tubing as reassuringly reliable, the fact that numerous pilots have accrued between 12,000 and 15,000 miles on this featherweight carbon fiber is a testament to the resilient nature of this material.
The original father of the World’s Lightest Bike is Günter Mai, who’s a bit of a visionary when it comes to the concern of weight and bicycles. Since then the bike was dismantled but the current owner and Portland’s Het Fairwheel Podium have rebuilt the bike to weigh in at an incredible 2.7kg

JabberWocky
Compared to its namesake, the Vassago JabberWocky is about as down-to-earth as one can get. It’s a high quality 4130 steel Utah-designed 29er frame. Vassago has been producing the JabberWocky since 2005, so they’re obviously doing something right. Chris Ronan was attracted to this frame for the same reason I was: it’s a perfect mix between the bikes from the good ol’ days of mountain biking with all of today’s refinements.
Chris was finding cycling a difficult addiction to give up and, after a 15 year hiatus from the racing scene, was astounded by the technological progression bikes have undergone. “My goal with this bike was to build a bike that strongly celebrated the old school of dirt riding but with the core features I would have killed for back in the day,” Chris says. “While suspended bikes are awesome and provide a smooth ride with the ability to go hard over the bumps, my goal was to build a bike made to ride hard and that would make me feel like I was riding my Bridgestone MB2 from years past.” Sounds like the ultimate dirty fun bike.

Race day
Watched Giro d'Italia and the Tour of California today. Also did the single track at Erwin Park, nothing but Texas mud, it was great.

Detour
I've decided to put off my Continental Divide ride for a few months because of the late snow in the Rockies (over a foot of new snow this week). My plan right now is to go to LA and head north towards Seattle. We'll see what happens over the next week...
