Yes on the Pinarello weight. I thought about one and was shocked at the actual frame weight. Pinarello published weight doesn't include paint, bottom bracket shell, bosses for water cages, etc. the actual weight gets close to 300 grams more. So when you compare to Cervello and Specaialized, there's almost a full pound difference. Add in their proprietary fork with extra weight, and the difference is huge.
