Hey there folks, i posted this to my blog already, but i wanted to post it here just to see if anyone could clue me in. Ive got the paperbuild done on my new bike and it seems lighter than i expected, are my numbers off? I dont know the exact frame weight someone on here posted 1200 grams another 1445 grams (i figured 1450 grams), and i dont know headset weight either. but take a look at the specs and tell me if the numbers im figuring make sense.

I see , sorry:)

That's awesome. My tricross frame is on order. Hopefully it'll make the sub18 cut and you can post on your website .

I would say the weight is about right, maybe 200g more...

Finally Specialized makes CX Frames again...!

what size?...my frame is a 52 and it weighed 1450g but mine was painted and not ano.
also..are you sure you want bolt on skewers for a race rig?
what about wheel changes?

b

quantum do you have any more pics of your red tricross? Yours was the only red I've had the chance to see. The spec website doesnt even have it. Is it built up btw?

it's done.
I've since replaced the wheelset with Ksyrium SSL tubulars with Tufo Flexus tires + the new DuraAce crankset and SRP Mr Grumpy brakes.

How you finding the EC-90 seatpost?

I'm torn between the EC-90, ritchey WCS and USE Carbon Alien.

it's fine...I weigh 146lb so I'm not killing it.

JermeyB, Your weight is probably within 5-10%.
Mine weighs 16.13lbs....to be exact.

sweet okay quantum, thanks for the pic and info, mine is 56cm so will be heavier than 1450. Did that include the headset?

the ano version should be a little lighter than paint, but i really do like that red. bike looks great.

thanks
jeremy

EDIT: im using the bolt ons because i have a pit bike and its quicker to switch bikes than switch wheels. i might upgrade to the m2 racers when i get some money.
