I weighed the raw 56cm frame we have here as well as the 58cm frame I'm riding (with one downtube decal and matte clear finish.
The 56cm frame is 764g. My 58cm is 794g. These are the weights w/o the mechanical cable guides installed. In the future, I should consider video taping this exercise and puting up a vid on YouTube, eh?
There is a frameset here also that was made for the Garmin guys (with alloy threaded BB shell) that is 878g in a 54cm for the frame alone. The alloy shell is heavier than the carbon BB30 shell, and the ~80-120g of paint/decal should have this bike in the 760g raw frame weight as well for the 54cm. I know the 61cm is going to have another 100g of beef added to it as the bikes are built proportionally stiffer so larger riders get the same stiffness and ride quality as the medium. The same is true for the 48cm which uses smaller tube cross-sections, different fiber orientation and lay up and as a result, a ligter, proportionally stiff frame.
