The buzz around the massive Scott stand at Eurobike has been crazy, with Nino Schurter’s World Cup-winning XC mountain bike and former World Champion Kate Courtney’s Contessa being some of the highlights that drew the crowds. However, the bike causing the most stir, not just on the Scott stand but around the entire Eurobike show, is the incredibly lightweight Scott Lumen e-MTB, created by the master of lightweight bikes and super short shorts, Gustav Gullholm – AKA Dangerholm.
But don’t let the shorts distract you, Dangerholm is the perfectionist of custom-built lightweight bikes. On his lightweight CV he's already created the world’s lightest full-suspension XC bike, the world’s lightest 29er, and the world’s lightest downhill bike. He is also a massive fan of bikes in general and while I spoke to him he noticed the Orange Bikes T-shirt I was wearing, telling me the Orange Phase was one of his first-ever bikes and with his latest creation getting so much attention, he hadn't even had time to check out the Orange stand at the show. The attention for the Dangerholm Lumen is justified, weighing in at a staggering 12.9kg. I had the opportunity to look over the bike with the man himself giving me the lowdown on his latest featherweight build.
