If you're looking for the bike to be very light go for Mavic OPs but otherwise go for the Velocity (with either deep v or aerohead)

Mavic Open Pros advertise as 425 grams
Velocity Aeroheads are listed 405 grams

Weight Weenies has measurements for these showing nearly identical for actual weight

Velocity Deep V's are 520 grams

WW says these are usually about 580 grams
