They said my Wilier would be under 17lbs, and it was close to 18. They're an awesome shop, but this is one thing they need to fix.
Edit: Doesn't mean the Le Roi Le Veut isn't awesome, though. I might buy one as a graduation gift to myself.
My BMC came from CC, and the claimed weight was 17.2 pounds - mine was 17.5 without pedals. I'm quite certain that the Le Roi will come in at most, 19 pounds or less with the changes in sizing. They claim it weighs 16.8, I'd bet on 17-ish. Big deal, that is a really damn lightweight steel bike with disc brakes.
I trust them because they actually weigh their own parts (unfortunately as you experienced, without compensating for the differences in weight across various sizes), rather than going off weight given from manufacturers.
