Nice looking bike. How does it ride? It looks stiff. Do You know frame and fork weight?
I'm just curious

Not 100% sure of frame weight -sorry did not weigh it but I've seen it at around 800g.
The ride is super efficient and not overly stiff at all. Love the way it corners! No mid-corner corrections needed. Like it's reading your mind!
Also like the combination of the Bora 2 better than on my Cannodale Evo.
I would also highly recommend the saddle.

That saddle has a nice profile but I can't justify paying 2x my Fizik R1 for something that weighs just as much.. love the looks of the Astute tho..

This comment makes no sense to me. The weight does not justify the extra expense? Budget I would accept as a valid parameter. The Astute has a completely different profile and fit to the Fizik. If it fits a rider better and keeps them comfortable and pedalling hard, then you really can't put a price on one of the key contact points. If the saddle works really well, I would consider paying 2X or more even if it is heavier.
Oh Lordy that is one good looking set of rails-

Love the Protos! Its my all time dream bike. I just order a De Rosa 888 and Campag 80th Anniversary to go with it. I'm considering the Campag 80th Bora Ultra 2 to match. How do you like them?
