My 61cm Sarthe with a Specialized Alias 143 saddle and Ultegra pedals weighed in at 20.35 lb. This is with all stock component except the saddle and stem (bontrager race lite v stock race)
I looked at a Felt 65 and 55 and could not get past the rough look of the frame welds. No bearing on performance I'm sure, but looks are important too! I also considered the 05 Aprissa team pro....but felt the Lemond would be a better value in terms of overall quality, resale value, looks (the green and yellow is just OK looking) and LBS support after the sale.
The steel Sarthe is smoother than my previous Specialized Allez Elite.
