See also Neil Pryde although now he's selling them under the Chapter2 brand.
If you can find one, a Pinarello Dogma F10 X-Light rim brake frame, was supposed to weigh in around 765 grams, but not sure if that was before paint or with paint.
I have built up a version of this at 6.07kg, size 50.5 cm frame, Schmolke 45 TLO clincher wheels and EPS campy groupset. Not using the Most integrated handlebar though, but have an extralite stem and heavy Enve aero handelbar. I could probably get it sub 6kg by switching to a less aero handlebar and lighter pedals.

The NP Bura SL is a lovely bike, by no means it can be considered aero...it has a massive round downtube.naavt wrote:For what I can remember, NeilPride Bura SL was one of the lightest aero framsets around at a claimed 710g for an M painted frame.
They used to have an aero offering (Nazaré if I am not mistaken), and there was some noise when Tour tested aero and non-aero offering from the same brand, and found the Bura to be more aero than the Nazaré. The reality was that both were quite bad (which is a bit odd since the Nazaré actually had a very traditional NACA profile DT... Difficult to imagine how that would could be less aero than a Bura...)
That Yonex is amazing... But getting one outside of Japan is almost impossible.

Ever since Spesh killed the Venge, it seems people consider the SL7 an "aero bike" and that has a round downtube.
I'm in your boat. Round down tube means the bike isnt an "aero bike" even if it is decent aerodynamically for an all-rounder.
