Specs from Ritchey claims 4lbs for the frameset, but assume that is just for the frame and an additional ~ 1lbs for the fork. Wondering if that sounds right to you?
Hey, thanks a lot, I appreciate it! FYI the weight is about 4lbs for the frame only (57cm version), the fork weighs 0.8 lbs uncut, and is the same fork as this one (except for the paint job):
Pro Carbon Road Fork
Also wondering the weight of the wheelset, seems like they would be on the heavy side but with bike's total weight that hardly seems possible...?
I've not weighed the wheels, but they are quoted as being 2.1kg total (4.6 lbs). The rest of the components are higher end, lets see how we get to 18.5lbs:
Wheels 4.6lb
Frame 4lb
Fork 0.8lb
Ultegra Groupset 5lb (2274 g)
So 14.4 lbs so far...
Thomson Elite Seatpost 0.5lb
Ritchey WCS Logic Handlebar 0.5lb
Ritchey WCS C260 Stem: 0.2lb
4ZA Stratos saddle: 0.7lbs
Michelin Pro4 700x 23mm (200g each): 0.9 lbs
Inner Tubes: ~0.4lbs.
Pedals: 0.5 lbs
3.7 lbs = 18.1lbs total now.
Add in the stuff I don't know the weight of (housing, cables, bar tape, spacers etc), and you can see how you get to 18.5 lbs I quoted. Honestly most of the weights I quote above are either for larger versions of the components or rounded up. Also I cut the fork, so that reduces weight.
