trash your scale.
6.9 is not possible on tarmac that size and those components. No way. I bet 7.9... that's possible. Still without pedals.

I can be wrong, and have plenty of examples for that ;)

you're getting closer, but slowly to real weight ;)

My 2015 S-Works Tarmac (58) is 7.4 kg with 303 FCC and without any ww parts while including pedals, bottle cages, powermeter and Garmin mount. Below 7 would easily be possible with lighter wheels.

what again ? when I was clearly and undoubtfully wrong ? Show or apologize ! ;)

it's mathemathic at level of 8y old child. Summarize components weight, and you'll see who's wrong ;) same was with giants, until Giant Germany published weights of XS sizes ... and ? Giants don't loose by "miracle" 1kg anymore ;) specially crossers.

people cheat everywhere, why not here ? last honest plae on Earth ??? ...Please...



I could belive in those weight with size XS and not Ultegra , which is 2650g in real life ( with cables ) .

just build bike with EVERYTHING lighter than OP bike ( frame lighter by 140g, full Record, 160g saddle, 150g post..etc ) ... and weight is ,.....YES! higher. But it's real. So please save me "need" to believe in this (nor any other) BS :) . If you want to believe... your choice. People have different ... points of view, to be gentle.

i cant prove you wrong right because i sold my wheels... but i can weigh it again when my zipp 404 has arrived. i apologize :)

but ive built loads of bikes and weighed a lot of them... i work in a bikeshop so i have a pretty good idea of weights. (if not our scale really belongs in the trash)

my bike also have some things that i didnt write... sram force bb30 crankset with stronglight chainrings, force brakes and no pedals (cant decide if i should have shimano or look, and the snow will be here until late marsch so no rush)

ps. sorry for my bad english... im from Sweden!

White bikes with tan sidewalls look so good. Nice job. As for all the talk about weight, I don't really care but I will say I had a Park Tool bike scale (hanger type) and it just started giving very inconsistent weights for seemingly no reason. I could put the same bike on it three times, zeroing it out between each one, and get three different weights. Significantly different, not just a few grams. It had never been dropped or anything either. Got an Ultimate scale from Feedback Sports and it seems to give consistently accurate results within its resolution limits.
