weight difference TCR SL v Advanced Pro
from cyclist magazine, for a 55.5cm Effective TT frame i would guess a medium

SL T800 frame 856g fork 306g
ADV RP T700 frame 890g 330g fork

IIRC from this thread the SL ISP clamp is ~130g which i would guess saves another ~70g

thought it would be interesting to the weenies.

Nice Bike but which brake pads do you use? The normal cryo blue or the power version?

The set came with the Cyro Power pads.

Nice bike, I'm thinking of building me an Advanced Pro. What type of crankset did you use GXP or BB30? Did you have to use an adapter, if so, which one?

Thanks.

GXP crankset.

I'm actually using Kogel Ceramic BB. No need for a press fit adapter.

Looking good!!
As for weight, what skewers are you using? If they are clinchers, what tubes are you running? These are nice easy and cheap ways to shed decent amounts of grams. Also try some generic carbon cages from eBay, these can be picked up for very cheap and I'm guessing they'd be much lighter than what you currently have.
