i was surprised as well, its definitely heavier than what the website stated. quicksilver looks really bland in person its a dull grey. smoke (raw carbon) looks awsome. i just think each size adds like 100g the frame isnt as light as they made it seem

Size 54, Sram, Team colour (with pedals, cages, rear light, front and rear mounts) = 7.88kg
Looks like this solid red colour is heavier than the Quicksilver

Ive actually grown to like these especially the green pro bike. However it has to be slammed and on some deep rims to look good. (ps yes i know fit is everything but still)

It's an interesting looking bike, and kudos to Trek for thinking outside the box. It's funny - if this bike were black, I don't think the logos wouldn't be such a big deal, but in any other color, you're looking for them and the absence is glaring.

Unfortunately, Trek has grown too expensive for my tastes, so I'll be admiring them from a distance on my old Madone.

Is this with standard tubes (+- 100g) and inserts? Would be an easy 200g to get rid of. I am curious to know if it is possible to get a new Madone below 7kg (with etap and powermeter) and the RSL 51 wheelset, but I fear it is not.
Also, does anyone know the weight of the cockpit? Is it much heavier than the RSL?
Thanks :)

As an owner of the previous generation Madone SLR, the new Propel looks lot more interesting and well rounded than this Madone.

Found a post that size 54, Ultegra, deep smoke colour = 7.46kg
So, the DuraAce with the weight differences of the groupset, wheels, saddle,.it looks like 7.1kg.
Deep smoke looks like the lightest colour you can get.

No pedals on that bike.

I will be happy with 7.1-7.2 DA without pedals.. which means I will end up being 7.4ish with my build plan
