Looks like you probably won't as they have dealers only in Italy (one in France). Looks like a Bacchetta/Volae variant, nicely done with Italian design flare. Not clear what the frame is made of but the ancillary parts are certainly top notch. Lots of carbon, good wheels. Be interesting to see a weight and price. I would guess mid '20s

That'd be cool as a frameset, IF the price was right. I'll have to keep them in mind, 'just in case.'

1 kg = 2.2 lb
Other than the Ultrateam, those are some fairly heavy bents.

especially for how much they cost. not to mention how much it'd be to ship to the US.

Actually the weights are about what you would predict for Volae and Bacchetta variants given the frame materials and accouterments though the 10kg weight is lighter than the Bacchetta Aero (ti frame on Bacchetta) unless you go on a weight chiseling spree at $50/oz of weight pared off. It is very hard to get bents to weigh under 22-25# just as it is hard to get DF under 18#. It can be done but is $$$. For bents under 20# costs are usually in the $4500-6000 range and DF under 18# are $3000 and up although there are a few less than this.
