Lightweight Cyclocross Bike: Dustin's Kona

Hi Jeremy,
 
Dig your site...
 
I scored a cheap 2001 Kona Jake the Snake frame a few years back on craigslist, built it up, started racing, and got hooked!  When I bought my 1st new 'cross frame last year, I stuck with Kona - this time the Major Jake.  This year I rebuilt it, and switched to tubulars - can't say enough good things about revolution wheelworks tubulars - great value! I don't have a digital scale, so part weights are estimated from weight weenies and other online sources, but I'm pretty sure she's at or under 17 lbs.
 
Cheers,
 
Dustin
