Good news:
I got a pair of American Classic Sprint 350's with the sapin cx-ray spoke upgrade in today. I put Deda tre corsa RS tires with maxxis ultra lite tubes. I saved 330 grams according to the digital scale making the overall weight 15.7 lbs. This is full record drive train, record compact cranks, record brakes, ritchey wcs carbon post, deda newton OS bar and stem. The wheels without skewers or rim strip came out to be 1299 grams. Not too shaby compared to my Ksyrium SL's which were tanks.
Bad news:
This weekend racing on one of the decents I went through one of the turns and felt the back in get loose, almost like I had a flat tire. I look down to see if I had a flat but the tire was fine. Finish my race and was looking over my bike when I got home and have discovered a crack in the paint. It starts at the top of the seat stay where the stays come together and extends from the top down the non-drive side, to the bottom. Scratch it with my fingernail and it's definitely cracked in at least the paint.
My digital camera's batteries are dead at the moment so I'll have to see if I can borrow one and get some pictures. The bike looks absolutely killer with the black 350's on it.
Do you think the carbon stay is cracked all the way through?. Sure it's not the wheels? You did just come off the stiffest wheels made. (SL's) Or at least close. Would like to see the pics when you can. Hope this doesn't mean a special trip to Angelo.
