Pinarello's are not super flyweights. I have an Opera (steel) frame (57 cm) which weighs 3.7 lbs, plus the fork weighs in at 415 grams (throw in a compression cap, for another 40 grams). With full Campy Record, Selle San Marco Aspide Saddle, Ritchey WCS bar and stem, and Speedplay pedals it comes in at 18.5 lbs. I have seen some very light aluminum frames, but most high end frames seem to range from 2-4 lbs. To get below 17 lbs you really need to start with a sub 2.5 frame and superlight wheels.jimmer23 said:Ok, call me crazy, but with all the talk during the TDF about minimum UCI weight requirements and additional weights being stuck on some bikes, etc etc - I finally decided to weigh my own and was kinda shocked at what I found. Here's the rundown:
