Kingtom: with a pair of custom Zipp 303, bike weighs in at just about 15 Lbs, not bad for this kind of rig.
Could bring it down to 12 but then again I already own something far lighter, so would not need it.
As a weight weenie I find it difficult to stomach, but I think this bike climbs better than my light bike. Time will tell, maybe it's just new bike enthusiasm

It is a Giant TCR carbon, but sadly it is on the blocks right now. Bought a carbon back plate for the Shimano derrailleur, this thing worked fine for a year, but on monday the chain skipped over a bump and seeing the carbon plate does not have the bent claw like a normal plate...
Well the hanger plate failed like it was supposed to and the Derrailler flew into my spokes, $@£# happens

wow...that sucks.....I just finished my TCR, did you see it? Is yours the TCR with the blue stickers?

Ouch, can you saw "chain saw"?
Had the same thing happen to my velomax's under a hard shift, chain went into the spoke, and ohh, I got sick. I feel your pain.
What kind of wheel did it happen to?
