weight between two frames

I am currently riding an 08 Tarmac and have a chance to get a 2013 Specialized S works Tarmac frame only. I have searched but cannot

find a frame weight for the 08 Tarmac, the S works seems to be 1260 G. Anyone know the weight difference?

Yes, I have been to Weight Weenies BTW.

Thanks

When you asked Specialized, what did they say?

I have a few real nice scales, in the AC business you need them. I just would rather not strip down my existing Tarmac to weigh the frame.

I was sorta hoping one of you guys might know this.

It is easy to overthink this. How much bike weight do you hope to shed? Changing a frame alone will not gain you more than a couple of hundred grams of total bike weight. If weight reduction alone is your primary goal you may be disappointed. Keep in mind, that the frame only accounts for a small percentage of the total weight of the bike

If it was a pound I might go for it because I like the color and I expect to hang a newer lighter component group as well. A half pound may not be enough to justify the expense.
