A pound difference in frame weight is a lot for a frame. Sure, in the larger scheme of things it is just a pound, but it is a lot for a rigid frame. And I'd be willing to bet most CF frames/forks are 2 pounds lighter.
I mean, if your seat post was a pound heavier, you'd say that was a pretty freaking heavy seat post.
Again, I don't think it is a big deal, just saying Surly frames are heavy. And they are.
