I'm waiting on a 2018 lightweight Urgestalt frame so all parts will be swapped over from my Urgestalt now, plus a Darimo post and clamp will be added. Hopefully be under 4.8kg, atm 4.88kg.
This stem will go on the old frame which needs repairing and then I'm thinking chameleon paint job. All DA DI2 parts with PM, EEs and my Obermayers. Just want something reliable and not so WW. Still should be about 5.6kg.

Ouch! What happened to the old frame? Did I miss a thread or crash?

Luckily not mate, just some damage from the chain dropping. Has worn quite thin and then thought why not give it a make over.Image

According to the site the carbon frame version weights 180gr
https://www.sellesmp.com/en/composit.html
For some reason mine (2017 model) weighted 150gr : )

Not the cheapest, but competitive and actually have it in stock. It’s new so I tempered my expectations about discounts

Many of the online places take your money and must wait for a distributer to dropship. I shop with them often, so I preordered it and got a fair price.

Looking forward to the review. I’m skeptical about holding onto the saddle using those two strings. Do they have a weight limit? I’m about 152lbs so should be ok.. just worried about slippage since Cali Bay Area roads are crappy

One of T1s used to unwind with older T-clamps, but thread lock solved that. With loops, this happened only once, even though I tightened rear screw to 3nm. I think this might be caused by tension loss in front, I had to re-tighten the setup a couple of times.

I’ve had no problems with mine yet. I’m 69kg and the roads around here are pretty rough. Haven’t had to retighten the cables yet after a few weeks of riding. Cables were tightened just under 3Nm
