Colnago C50 real weight

Hi,
can anybody tell me the real weight of the new c50?
Some people say, the frame weighs exactly the same as the C40 (round about 1200g), others tell me a weight of 1400g only for the frame?
Does anybody has more information?
Thanks
Effe

The real weight should be 1410gr (size 54)
http://weightweenies.starbike.com/listi ... roadframes
... I think that this weight is true ...
It's too much heavy!!!
... Here in Italy Colnago C50 kit [Frame (1410gr) +Fork (420gr) +Seatpost (185gr) ] costs 3300 Euro !!!!!!!
In Europe Scott CR1 (only frame) costs 1800-1900 Euro.
... but it weights only 905gr (real weight / size 56).
See this link:

Scott CR1 is the best frame!

Hi Delpi,
I cant believe that the frame is more than 200g heavier than the old model c40?!
I don't like the scott. It looks ugly....
I own a Colnago Dream and the Geometry is perfct. So I want to stay with Colnago.....but I never would buy a carbon-frame with more than 1250g in my size - no way....
thanks

my dream is as light, as the c40....then I don't need a C40
but the c40 looks really nice. but if you want to have a light bike....

Depents:
I am agree ... if you want a bike under 6,8 Kg!!
but if you want to respect UCI limit (6,8kg) Colnago C50 is ok.
If you see this link:
http://weightweenies.starbike.com/articles.php?ID=32
The frame is make with Columbus Airplane (= 1400gr)
The fork is a Time full Calbon (>400gr)
The seatpost is a Campagnolo Record (>190gr)
All these components are not too much light but the bike weights 6,8 Kg!!
