18lbs...

It's been almost 3 years since I bought my last copy of BMX Plus. I could never find it anywhere except for this little tatty Newsagent in Twyford where I used to work. Since moving away from Twyford, I've never seen it anywhere else... until recently. I was a little surprised to see it in Borders bookshop (West Quay Retail Park) a few months ago but it wasn't enough to make me part with 325 of my hard earned pennies. Well, that was until the latest issue. I think the April 2007 cover says it all - "18lbs. Lightest free style bike ever!" And yes, I did say April 2007. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Americans are one month ahead of everybody else I think...

The scary thing is that it could be even lighter! They could replace the Alex Supra B rims, have ti spokes and a ti driver in the cassette hub, some flatland tubes and get rid of the Primo e-brake... and they think the weight would be 16lb 13oz! Laala laaa...
