. I totally agree with you. the weight is not accurate but I just was curious. I think its actually around mid 15's. I will definetaly weigh with a good scale another time. from the feeling it is not so bad. much lighter than the stock build for sure and will be even more after my additions later on. the size of my bike is a 52cm. don't know what size you ride. I had a fondriest 51cm before alu with similar build and it weighed 16.9lbs. now this bike is much lighter.
thanks
Hey, glad you didn't take offense, none was intended.
I had a mid 80's steel Specialized Allez that kind of rattled me to numbness, so what sold me on the Roubaix was first; how smoooooooth it was, second how it just took off when you jumped on it and third was how quiet it rode. I really expected my old bike to come in over 25 lbs, but it came in a little over 23 lbs. So there is only a 6 lb difference between the two, but it FEELS like 15 and there is no comparison in ride.
