Look at the table : La gamme TCR 2021, the weights are for disc frames

Is this info available anywhere for the rim brake versions? The (non PRO) TCR Advanced seems like a pretty good deal, if the only penalty is 30g at the fork.

The penalty is only 20g when you look at the entire frameset. OD bearings vs OD2.

Has anyone confirmed this on the scales? It seems really unlikely to me. All forks I've had with an aluminium steerer have a weight penalty of a few hundred grams (e.g. giant TCX SLR v. TCX advanced fork).

If the difference is so small I'd have no issues going for the advanced

I just got my MY21 TCR ADV Disc frameset, size ML, frame is about 1045g (maybe not very accuracy due to the scale error)(this include frame, 4 bolts for bottle cage, seatpost clamp, FD/RD hanger), the fork is 385g(without the 24g expender plug), seatpost is 190g.
I won't go for ADV PRO, cause OD2 stem is expensive and heavy, which would add the weight back there.

Seconding this, my ML was 1000g and fork 385g as well.

Very porky comparing to the original weight publication. I'd honestly just get the white Adv version and mod the heck out of it.

I thought the Adv and Adv Pro both now have a full carbon fork and steerer?

yes they are.
ADV got OD1(28.6mm)steerering tube, ADV PRO have OD2, 30g lighter.
But the OD2 stem is really heavy.

Have 2021 TCR Avanced Disc here. I can confirm carbon steerer. Not alloy.
