Rich,

This contest is too easy to fix. I know who is building your bike. You better make sure no one tries to sneak some lead weights into your seat tube.

Enjoy.

I know what my 64 cm Ottrott ST harlequin monster weighs. So I'm guessing 16 lbs 9 oz. Doesn't matter, you're going to love the ride!

Rich W,

I may have to disqualify myself. I have the same bike with the same set-up except for the pedals. I use speedplays. The bike will weigh 17 lbs. 5 oz. with the Ksyriums. Enjoy it. It is awesome.

Kevin

Rich_W,
the only detail you missed was how many boxes of bar tape you have to give out . I sure hope, for your sake, that 10 people don't guess the correct weight.
