Just got my S-Works frame yesterday! The Snake Eye color really looks amazing, super happy with it. Now for the part most people care about (the weight).

58cm - Snake Eye / Satin Black - 948g

Uncut fork is 411g

It's a pretty miserable day outside today so I don't have great lighting, but the frame really does look fantastic

Is that the weight with axles, RD hanger, and bottle bolts? The other weights listed here are bare frames.

Including all of that, will have to pull it back out later to weigh the raw frame. Good catch

Weight hardly matters. Even 2lbs… for 90% of the time.

I feel like most people are aware that the difference between a standard Specialized frame and the S-Works frame are minimal. However, it comes down to
  1. Do you have the budget and do you want/need the 2-3% minimal gains you'll gain from the S-Works frame
  2. Do you have the budget for the S-Works frame and want the S-Works frame instead of the standard frame, either because of the name, color, etc.
This is WW afterall, there has to be some value to minimizing the weight of your bike or this forum wouldn't exist.

I know 12r and 10r are very minimal in difference. It's just me if I buy the Specialized and I know there is an S-Works I couldn't sleep.
