Do you think I shoul lop a bit off or send it back saying its a bit heavy. Its a xl frame ffs. It's not going to be light. The weight is as pictured too, i.e not bare.

I think us 190cm+ people on the forum should cop a break.
Our bikes are always going to come in heavier, especially spending the same kind of money.
We aren’t going to get the eye catching weights that some of the more average sized people are especially with an Ultegra build! Alas we do the best we can.
My complaining is now over

Internal width is 18.2mm. 250C tg temp resins in the brake track. I will have to see how it performs on a long decent. Steel mold are used and the logos are not transfers, it is part of the surface finish of the rim and is slightly recessed. I have not seen this on any other rim yet. The manufacturer does this for me. My other carbon rims have the same logo style. This pic better shows what I mean. Looks like my camera lens needs a clean.

Parts fitted.
Weight currently is 6.01kg on the luggage scales but if you add up all the parts it's 5.56kg. Oh I weighted with the handlebar holder on!
Saddle weight 125g
Now what pedals shall I fit. Probably some looks.

That looks awesome! Great choice of components. A lovely change from the constant cannondale evo builds of the past year.

Finally spring is coming so I fitted the gear cables/casings which are ashima reaction and powercordz.
I'll use a steel cable for the brakes as I can't find my powercordz now.
Expected weight with pedals will be 6.5kg. just need to get some look pedals now. I'll probably nick the looks of my trek though. Not feeling rich at present.
Shedding Wright would be expensive. Bar/stem and saddle/seat post combo would help, a set of tubular wheels which I happen to have help more, brakes I can't afford....
I'll leave as it is. Being 85kg at the moment I should loose weight for me first.
