Hi Hermes, I know you're just giving me a ration...
The only truly WW part for which I spent big $$$ was the Ritchey seatpost that was on the Hi-Mod. I sold that post with the Hi-Mod frame since it wouldn't fit on the EVO. I got the Zipp cages on sale through a UK shop so while they were more expensive than other aluminum or "plastic" cages they weren't a lot more expensive. The new Deda bars on this bike are heavier than the 3T bars that I was using and I continued with the relatively heavy Specialized stem. Also the Look Kéo Max 2 Carbon pedals are heavier than the Kéo Carbon pedals that I was using last year. And the group is mostly stock Record-10 (ceramic bearing rear derailleur pulleys and ceramic bottom bracket bearings).
Given all of that I assumed the EVO would still be lighter than the Hi-Mod, but I didn't expect it to be just under 14 lbs.
