Hi Sasgranz,
No, I did not. I am pretty sure they know what kind of bullshit they are promoting.
The tour mag tested the Xelius 500 back in November. The bike they rode was a 55 and the frame weighed 1162 gr. Given the fact that the Ultimate has a little bit more of the premium carbon fibers the weight of my frame in 58 makes sense. But the frame is definitely not under 1000 gr in 52.

This is a bit dated by now, but Lapierre stated 950 grams to you for size XL, and yours is 1170.
My guess is that Lapierre quotes based on nude frames so 200 grams of nice paint sounds correct here, looking at the extra surface area in the design.
You can hit your weight goal if you start by dumping those Zipps.
But again, you probably have the build sorted by now. Post a pic of the final status when you can.
