This is the creation day (Jan 15, 2007) of the Grams Light Bikes website, which is dedicated to lightening the weight of mountain bikes. This will apply to full-suspension, hardtail, and standard mountain bikes.
This site will contain observations and testing of lightweight parts. It will also be a web store for those parts that receive the “Gram Seal of Approval.”
My current toy and main test bike are the Ibis Mojo (shown above). It has a Carbon monocoque frame and swing arm with 5.5 inches of travel. My other test bike is the Specialized Epic Ultimate frame, which has carbon fiber tubes and Titanium lugs. Both of these bikes are works of art.
Update (1/15/2025) – The original Grams Light Bikes website morphed into The MTB Lab. We mainly write, test, and review mountain bike-related products, which cover a full breadth of the outdoor and bicycle industry and include products used during bike riding and pre and post-rides. Over the past 18 years, we have written close to 3000 posts!
