Bikes: colnago titanio oval master, pinarello treviso es, centurion prestige, tomac ti 26er, lemond buenos aires, mbk 753, vitus 992 and zx1, rocky mountain hammer disc,bd century titanium, specialized venge expert

Another option, similar but slightly stiffer is a 992. Comes out to 19lbs with chorus pro fit pedals. I can make the bottom bracket flex if I mash, but for quick cadence its pretty nice.

The 992 were neat bikes, but isn't the headset proprietary?

headset is proprietary...but I was told stronglight needle bearings pop right in. Haven't tried it but his mechanic had fixed his 992 using those (bisegal in Toronto).
