I'd bet the raw ano version would be pretty close to claimed weight, based on how thick giant's paint is. Really nice weight though. My 2013 advanced frame is only slightly lighter then this.

Bumping this back up, anyone else on these puppies? Reviews? Solutions for the pig of a post?

It's a proprietary shape unfortunately.

That does not matter. So was my Cerveo post. There is always a way around a problem. Jure could cut off the head to the post where most of the weight is and bond one of his saddles. The weight savings is huge. My post and saddle combo ended up being the same weight as the stock post on its own.

New paintscheme for 2014. Also a component upgrade (sram red).

Hopefully those frames will be available in Europe this year. One never knows.
