Did you mean the TCR Elite 0?

My complete TCR 1 frame(medium) with full Dura/Ace, 32 spoke butted open pros, and Look pedals weighs just 18 pounds. The Elite does not weigh much, if any, less than the TCR, the carbon stays are just a comfort addition. The Composite bikes are LIGHT, Dura/Ace, Kyseriums, no pedals, 15.6 pounds(medium)

I just got a Giant OCR Elite 0 2002 Edition.. With two fairly light bottle cages added it weighs 17.6 pounds.

Should be pretty accurate since I used a digital fish scale.

I'm pretty impressed with the weight to start, but I'd imagine I could still cut out a little here and there as time goes on. (seat, seatpost, cages, pedals, handlebars, headset)

I am building my OCR Elite to be used for just a trainer on my computrainer. It should be finished by October

Can I ask why you're building up such a sweet ride for a trainer? Not trying to be rude, just curious.

I have the frame just sitting in my cycling room. I already have a TCR and a tri bike. I might as well use this one just for training.
