Re: the above table, one problem is what is the meaning of frameset (Gewicht Rahmen-set). Are we talking just frame and fork, which based on the weights given really seems unlikely. So what else is thrown in? RD hanger for sure, but seat post clamp? What about headset and bottom bracket? Hard to know. It is just that those weights are stupid high compared to other reviews.

As I interpret that chart, it is a scored comparison of the frames and then in the second section the parts added onto the frame. If there is an objective measurement of a factor, that is converted to a subjective score, better is lower. Each factor is given a percent weight in the final score. That is the top line of the chart. Each factor is scored from 0-5. The individual scores are weight averaged according to the percent given in the top line. So the frameset weight is multiplied by 0.25, the ride stability is multiplied by 0.15 and so on. Then all those weighted factors are added up for the final score. Low score wins it seems.

Here are the headings in order:
Frameset weight
Ride stability
Lateral stiffness, fork
Power transmission
Frame comfort
Paint
Finish
Instructions
Warranty
Weighted average
Weight of equipment added to the frame
Gear shift setup
Brakes
Crankset
Wheels
Tires
Stem
Saddle
Weighted average for complete bike
Weighted average for frame and bike (40% frame, 60% bike)

Hope this helps.

Re: this thread, it is important to note the Trek ALR is scored MUCH worse in comfort than the Cannondale. The two complete bikes are comparable in total score, but that comfort score really stands out.
