Yes, links with verified weights would be appreciated. Many got burned by mfg claims awhile back (was it Guru?).

I wonder if anyone got the Ultra yet?

I wonder what fibre/ resins they use in that since it cost so much.

I was told most that has pre-order Ultra already owns Vial EVO D and RCA (correspondence with a dealer).

I also like the LTD Scultura, as it got a good geo.

The LTD version isn't made in Asia is it?

Have you guys noticed that Rolo bikes hardly appear anywhere?

Have you ever seen anyone owning either hackney or the super light?

Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)


Ex bike; Vial EVO D, Vial EVO Ultra, Scott Foil, Paduano ti bike.

The weight of bottom bracket adapters such as Praxis should really be included.

This needs a correction.
Fuji SL 1.1, size 54 bare: 709g (Source)
Fuji SL 1.1 size 54 with necessary hardware: 748g (Source)

Making a total of frame w/ uncut fork: 1058g in size 54.

Honestly I don't think we should be consider frames weighed without the necessary hardware. It's as misleading as Pinarello claiming a sub 1000g frame... when they really meant 999g in their smallest size without clearcoat, paint, hardware, or finish of any kind. :lol:

Wheels - you are correct that we are still in early days and working hard to establish ourselves. We have sold a fair number of bikes to customers who are mostly located in the US and Europe. Each one thus far has been an experienced cyclist - a number have owned RCA's or other, similar high-performing bikes - but they are not particularly active either on the forums or in social media regarding their bikes.

(Don't know if it really answers your question, but as recently as August and September, we were featured in L'Acheteur Cycliste in France, and Cyclist wrote a ride review.)

We have tried hard to market ourselves by having people ride the bike, rather than spending huge amounts on advertising, the idea being that we want people to buy the bike because of how it fits, handles and performs - not based on the way it looks in print. It takes longer to get the word out, which might then make it seem like we are not very active, but we stand by our product and know that it is the best we are capable of designing, engineering and manufacturing. It also allows us to engage with people directly, which we enjoy.

Where are you located? If we are somewhere near you, happy to pm you and arrange for a test ride. Just say the word.

@prend, I agree.

I'll update the original list with anything that has a verified weight to it. The Felt F FRD should be added but I can't find anything on it.

Where would a 2014+ Scott Addict SL fit in? Of course I need a 58cm so it would be heavy but would a 54 or 56 be close to this weight? It seems like most of the really light stuff doesn't have high BB and HT stiffness.

Its not that exciting. I sanded the fork down as much as I dare and cut a big chunk of steerer off so hence the weight.
Donald has the same forks on his mind blowing Ruegamer. They ride very well.

They said 54 is sub 1kg. Considering the 56 they had doing the rounds was 1020g then I wouldn't doubt it.
