I can ask the techs at my work tomorrow what they think... but my advice would be to leave it in, it's there to support the integrated seat tube obviously from clamping force but just in general. It's a $5500 frameset, is it really worth saving 30 grams at the expense of putting unnecessary stress on the frame?
