There are no sub 2 pound steel bikes, so what's the point? I think about 1kg or a bit over 2 pounds is the realistic current cf limit too. Irregardless of stasticcally bankrupt static 'failure tests', a fly weight CF frame is unlkely to exit a major crash unscathed either. Besides, havent you heard of catastrophic failure of CF and flying razor sharp shards, and the multitudes of mutilaed bystanders.
