Closer to 2/3 lb. People pay a lot of money to drop 300 grams after a bike purchase. Not something that everyone needs to worry about or care about for sure but good to know. Buying a caad locally has benefits too. Free fit, free adjustments and tuneups depending on the lbs and what they offer. Those things have value too and should be taken into consideration.
