And if I ever meet an aardvark, I'm going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn't suck up an insect if its life depended on it.

Classy!
It's painted by Brady van Dalen (www.specialpaintwork.nl). The logos are painted too and it has four layers of clearcoat. The finished frame is 1304 grams on a digital scale.
And if I ever meet an aardvark, I'm going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn't suck up an insect if its life depended on it.
what's the total weight?
As shown here it's 7.6 kilos (Record 32h hubs, Sapim spokes, Open Pro rims, Chorus 13/26 cassette, Record QR's and Schwalbe Stelvio tires). With the Lightweights (Record 12/25 cassette. Tune QR's, Dugast tubes) it will go down to 6.7 kilos.

Very nice
