Thats quite far from the specified 775 gram for medium size... So the Seka isnt as light as advertised then?RustyCage wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 9:37 pmI received my frameset over a month ago... still need a cassette before I can build it up. Anyone know where I can get a Sram 10-33 cassette?
I'm generally excited about the frame. The geometry is perfect for me. The top cap is a ridiculous 3g. The rest of the bits are well thought out. The compression plug is heavy compared to the FSA one that I got with the 5D super compact bars.

Even so, the parts he specified including der hangers doesn't add up But yeah, manufacturers weight is never correct. Just a bummer as the Seka is advertised as a lightweight race machine just like S-works SL7 and similar frames which really is that light.wheelsONfire wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 8:10 am

Yeah, right you are!
The weights given by manufacturers are often from a scale tuned for weight weenies (well, it seems like it anyway)!
Our regular scales are often more true!

Maybe "RustyCage" could clarify, what the "S" stands for. In case it means "Standard", the weight is just like advertised.

The weights are (so far) just like advertised (fpr the RDC an Standard Versions) - like advertised and already written you have to add paint and fitting adds.

Quite heavy paint for only being a clearcoat
About 100g for a bit of black color, decals, clearcoat and fittings ist not heavy at all (RDC).
About 135g for color, clearcoat and fittings ist also not heavy at all (Non-RDC).
Especially concerning, that (as already mentioned) the claercoat (on my / the RDC) seems to be quite thick and not very sensitive to scratches and that it has (some kind of) aero tubes.
(Leaving out the price).

For me sub-900g for this frame is great with all the bits. Getting sun 7kg with aero wheels is no problem.
