It's a 56. Weighed it twice, with two different scales, and came in right around 790g. That's including all the frame protection Specialized puts on, plus two derailleur screws I forgot about.
Even though the frame is heavier than advertised, this thing still feels light as a feather. And personally, I love the color scheme. As someone coming from an S-Works Tarmac and the Roubaix Team, the lack of branding is a nice touch. Setting up the 2x crankset is the next step. Truth told, I'm a little worried about that. I hope the Power2Max people were right that the GRX spacing will work on this frame. A: it'd be a pain to return the powermeter and look for a new crank. B: I'm pretty pleased with the weight. 691g all in isn't bad...

That's only 10g heavier than my boring 56 black frame, so definitely worth it to have some color. I have a P2M GRX spacing crankset coming later this week with 46/30 rings and the Aldhu carbon crankarms, so am also hoping this setup works.

I'm still in the honeymoon phase but my impression so far is that this makes quite a formidable road bike. I'll get some group rides in this weekend and will be able to share more but it's significantly better than a SuperX on the pavement.
Can you please tell little more what makes it better on pavement than SuperX as I have SuperSix EVO SE on order and it shares the geo with SuperXRyanH wrote:I'm still in the honeymoon phase but my impression so far is that this makes quite a formidable road bike.

The SuperX I had was the 2019 model and the out front steering they had made it feel lazy in the turns, it just didn't want to change direction. Nothing about it felt like a nimble, eager road bike. The Crux however feels just like a road bike. It doesn't feel slow or ponderous.
