lightest build is still the 2002 or 2003 Scott Team Issue SCANDIUM frames!!!
the V-brake version of the Scale weighs a real 1050g in size M (it also has the disc-adapters on)
+full lenght cable housings all over...+1.5m housings and cables...+90g
+oversize diameter seatpost (34.9).you will need a shim for any lightweight seatpost....+20g
+oversize seatpost clamp....+5g
+E-type front derailleur......+30g compared to Dura-Ace
+4cm shorter seattube makes for 4cm longer seatposts.....+12g
so we have
1050+90+20+5+30+12 = 1207g
my 2002 Team Issue weighs 1146g in size M......1207-1046 = 61g
so the 1900 euro Scale is 60g heavier than my soon 3 year old frame -HA!
Hallo Nino do you now if the 04 Frame lighter or heavier as the 03or 02

You would think a company such as Scott would do the sums (as in Nino's post) when developing new frames . . .
would i trust a composite frame for freeride
in a word no sums are fantastic for linear and non linear studies
impact resistance of carbon forget it

I just received my frame in waranty, this will be the 04 frame. This is for my 02 frame. My 02 frame weighs 1280 gram in XL and my 04 frame weighs 1250 gram in XL. This is both with canti-studs.

A very small crack in the crossing of the upper tube and the seatpost tube. It was a crack of 1 cm max. I have driven the frame until I got the new one. The frame is replaced within 2 weeks. Great service
