You clearly got everything you paid for...and more. That's the issue, you have more.

All seriousness, yeah I would be annoyed because with your bike's size, you would think it would be 1.25# less than the claimed weight.
But my annoyance would be pretty short lived.

It's a Domane- those things don't look light and aren't designed to be light. While that doesn't justify a bike being heavier, it definitely should provide some perspective since it isn't meant to be a light weight.
Personally- if weight were a motivating factor in which bike to purchase, I would look elsewhere and find one that weighs what it's claimed to weigh.
Of course if you weigh other bikes, you may find the Domane is in line with competition...and then what?
