I already weighed the frame. A 54cm with the BB installed as it comes from the factory was 1150g. My Cervelo was 1140g w/o a BB so I am in the good already. One thing I noticed racing, and training on my S2 this year, after training a majority of my time on me Allez, was a bit less stiffness in the front end. It's not an earth shattering amount of flex, but it does flex more than my 2014 Smartweld Allez. Which btw, I love that bike, and I think it is a fantastic bargain. It will remain in my stable as a bad weather/crit bike for an undetermined amount of time. I am speculating, and hoping that the 1 3/8" lower headset bearing design will yield a stiffer front end. The goal with this Venge, and the niche in my arsenal of which it is focused, is a lightweight, and aero road weapon, much like it's predecessor. Eventually, I would like to get another Berk Composites seatpost combo built for this bike as well. I loved the one on my Cervelo. I have a few of the weights recorded already. I intend to do this project right, and weigh, and record every single part before it goes on the bike this time.

I'm really digging the gloss carbon with matte logos. It looks so amazing. I am thinking seriously about not only having Berk build me another seatpost/saddle combo, but a bar/stem combo as well. If nothing else I think I may have to refinish the Vukasprints, and remove the logos. The white logos look a bit loud on the otherwise stealthed out bike.
