i finaly had my bike on the scale yesterday.
it came in at 5.96
size 56.
53T aero chainring
including pedals,bottlecages and wahoo mount.
i could drop about 80 more gram, with lighters chainrings and some minor upgrades.

Insert pictures of beautttttiful bike

Any weight on that as is? I would feel very OK about copying that paint job. That is wildly cool and some how really works with that frame shape. Also saw that splashing the pages of Fbook and IG. Happy to see it's one of our own

Thanks Adam! Yes it's 6.25kg atm without pedals, I'll re-post once the THM and Darimo parts are added, interestly it's only marginally lighter with my Lightweight Meillenstiens

These shallow wheels with an aero frame
Why? You might aswell have built a bike using a lighter frame.

i have 2 pair of wheels. this is my lightweight setup for when going to the alps. i have a 55mm setup for when racing, or daily rides.

Sorry to jump a little off the topic of the thread. Curious is anyone has thoughts on Ostro VAM v. new Cervelo Soloist. It seems like they are very similar frames with the Factor having a little nicer details for a substantially higher $$$.

I wish there was some way to compare CdA other than what looks faster on a 2D photo...
