Maybe they weight without the seatclamp, that's not necessary for usage :lol:

They claim 200g for 31.6x330.

Yours is longer so it will obviously be heaver. Often 27.2 has to use more material than 31.6 for same length as smaller diameter tube isn't as strong/stiff.

Given those two points it's around what I would've expected. Worth it for a good solid clamp head that is easily adjusted.

Didn't bought because of the weight, so have no problem with it :) specially looking how nicely is made . Wall thickness look like overkill comparing to other 27.2mm :shock:

My weight and "lightweight" do not like each other . 3T limited components can easy confirm that :( .
