For reference purposes, my Campy Eurus front wheel weighs in at 715 grams: 1,138 with 700x23c tire & tube + skewer.

I should have mentioned that the 1520g was without tire and tube. 1980g total weight of front wheel. As a point of reference my tubulars on my single bike weigh 571g Front 734g Rear w/o skewers.
