So this Giant TCR I got on ebay...

So this Giant TCR I got on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN:IT&ih=015

The listing says it's sub 16# w/ pedals. I put it on a postal scale today and it weighed in at 17.5# w/ Dura ace pedals. Also, the description says it's a 2006 model when in actuality, I only now realize that it's a 2005.

Would you folks make a stink about it, or should I just let it slide?

BTW, this is a pretty awesome bike. I'll give a quick first impression. I used to own a Trek 5200 to compare to and this feels much more responsive. The Trek was Ultegra, this is my first time with modern Record. Still getting used to the "crunch" and slamming down or up a handful of gears as opposed to the subtle "click" and fluid one at a time shifts of Shimano. In hindsight, the 5200 did feel wooden compared to this. The Giant is harsher over road imperfections but instantly lurches forward with sprints.
