Sorry for that.
I might add that I have compared these bikes quite extensively. According to a Trek representative, the SLR frame on the 6500 is only 8 ounces lighter. So not a great gain there. When comparing the bikes as they come stock, the 19.5" 6500 is supposed to be about 2 lbs lighter.
I have lightened a few things on mine so I am guessing that I would probably be shaving about 1 lb at the most. It's a tough call.
