KCNC Superlight Burls Ti Project

The Burls/KCNC superlight project is a collaberation between Burls titanium bicycle frames and KCNC components. KCNC are a relatively small brand manufacturing very high quality superlight weight components at very competitive prices. The aim of the project was to build a very lightweight but ridable machine made from mainly metal, that would tip the scales at under 16 pounds all-in. The result was a bike that weighed almost 15 pounds and, as planned, cost under £3000.
