I mean framest weight ( best would be for size M ) . Look claims 1100+350, but build bikes weight doesn't fit to those numbers....

Do you have proof or are you just spamming for the discount?

He is spamming. Put some similar BS in a Pinarello frame weight thread.

I can't speak about 765, but few years back, I was thinking about buying LOOK 695. So I went to local dealear and we put frameset on the scale. If I remember correctly, it was about 100g heavier than advertised in my size. I usually ride 56cm effective top tube.

There is or was some kind of 5% discount for Starbike Forum members who have so many posts. Discount to Starbike the internet retail store.

I saw somebody selling an XS 765 frameset and providing actual info. According to him, it's 1690g. The French company however often notes it's for unpainted, raw framesets so I believe likes of headset, seat clamps, derailleur hangers and blah are also excluded here.

My LOOK frameset is also much heavier than claimed.

Just measured bike weight didn't fit to frameset weight... and by much ; it wasn't 100-200g, more like 500g+ :( .
Anyway thanks for reply !

Finally I went other route ; idea of 1 bike for all ( road, cx, gravel, commuter ) which grew up for years in my head. Basically it wil be come back to it ( back in time to 2012, but then after crack on new frame -which filled all boxes- I went to separate bieks for every discipline ) .
