1650g is pretty good for a lugged Zona frame -- what size?

Thanks for the link. I've bookmarked it and I will play around with it later.

My frame is 48cm with 650c wheels however the chainstay length at 405mm is the same as for 700c so there shouldn't be any weight difference there. It does have a 1" steerer rather than 1 1/8".

Regards, Anthony
