I saw that Cervelo made a Super Prodigy steel frame that was like 2.5 lbs(!) but they discontinued it.

Any decent quality lightweight steel frames out there?

Cinelli? Making Super Prodigy's?

That has to be some sort of copyright violation...

I know I saw, on CyclingNews.com, a couple months ago about a 1000gram steel frame made out of reynolds tubing. Light enough? :D

Oh, yeah. That 953 stainless steel piece built by Indie Fabrique?

I would love to have one, but I would probably make it a single speed. :)

Hmm...I'm going to go search that name because it's been bugging me not knowing the name of it! Thats for the head start!

Waterford sells stainless bikes that I believe are VERY light.

Try "Independent Fabrication" instead.

I was just screwin' with the name a bit, because I like things that sound French. Like my name(s).

Waterford. True Temper OX tubing.

Je suis italien et francais.

my 1989 Paramount OS is under 4lbs, there are tons of steel frames below 4lbs

Here's couple of steel roadies that'd fit your bill:

I'm sure he means Cervelo :)

Salsa is about to release one made of S3 steel called Primero. 3.1 lbs

http://www.salsacycles.com/06_frames_preview.html

Scarfacci, Colnago, Orbea, Waterford, Heron, Kogswell, Sano, Torelli, Mondonico, De Rosa, etc. Big list. (See one of Sincity's threads on steel or red or orange bikes)

Look for True Temper S3 or OX, Reynolds 853, Columbus Spirit for frames under 3lb.

My LeMond Zurich 853 is pretty light for steel. I have never weighed just the frame though, but I also have a steel Merckx that weighs way more.

Lemond Sarthe. 3.3lbs in 57cm. According to Lemond Customer Service. True Temper OX.......

It's a girls frame, dude. Sizes only run from 49cm to 56cm... :(

I think I'm going to need some assistance 56/12 and 22/28 because I can't find it...:(

they ain't that light :(

before I bought mine I emailed Cervelo and someone told me a 58cm frame was "about 3lbs"

mine is 1670g (3.67lbs)

It's not too hard to get under 4lbs, which is ~1816g.
Two of my old (late '80s), lugged 531c frames are 1860g (58cm and 56cm)

Read the information in the link over again. Slowly. It's a compact frame. It says the 49cm is EQUIVALENT TO A 56cm in their other frame styles.

From the site:
Frame weight: 3.1 lbs 49cm
Fork weight: .88 lbs (uncut)

Seatpost: 27.2mm
Seat Collar: 28.6mm Salsa Lip-Lock Included

Sizing Note: The Primero measures about 7cm
smaller than the Campeon. If you ride a 56cm
Campeon, you most likely ride a 49cm Primero.

My Ultrafoco Carbon is under 4 pounds. The Spirit Carbon replaces it in Orbea's lineup nowadays. Not the stiffest, not a noodle. Rides really well.

I'm really interested in the TT S3 stuff. I was hoping that someone here would get one and pummel it for a year. A detailed review is required, of course.

Oh No! My Salsa La Raza just became obsolete :mad:

Wait ... if I just eat fewer cookies and less pie over Christmas, I can get rid of that extra pound ;)

Just built out two of these and fully loaded, 18 pounds.

Well, sure he means Cervelo.

He just didn't say it. :D
