There are some sweet builds in here. Tim and Houston, what do you figure the bare frames weigh for each of your bikes - 3.5ish lb?
The big problem with my current bike is that I can't swap my aluminum steerer fork for an equivalent full carbon without messing with the geo, which is perfect as is. Damn fork is a boat anchor and weighs almost as much as a steel fork.
Second problem is I'm addicted to power data and that adds a bit of weight. Third problem is 250+ grams in extra rim weight vs if I paid up for nicer. Fourth problem is the Aliante is too damn comfortable and I gotta have one on there.
Running campy 11 + trp hy rds. Really like the performance after some tweaking, and I think going to shimano or sram full hydro would only be heavier, unless maybe I went di2.
