What sort of scale are you using to determine the weight? I've done the "stand on bathroom scale (digital), then stand on it holding bike, subtract" thing, but I'm not sure if it's too accurate. The other day it came out to 22 lbs, then I added a computer to the bike, and yesterday it was 21.6 lbs

Better ride, less rolling resistance, minimal weight, and aero penalty. If I would of scraped all the old glue off first. The weight difference would have been less.

Thanks! Never got around to getting it on the scale for a final weigh in, but just spec'ing out all the part weights, I come in at right around the 18lb mark.
At any rate, some asked for some better pics, so i was able to snap a few more. I know its not everyone's cup of tea, but for my purposes - mainly commuting and group rides on the weekends it suits them perfectly.

Love seeing old steel frames with modern components, especially when you get them under 20 pounds. Sort of like 60's muscle cars with modern wheels and suspension on it. Love that look.

2012 Trek Madone 4.6
SRAM Red- Black Edition GXP compact crankset
SRAM Rival DoubleTap, FD, RD
SRAM 1050 11-28 cassette
TRP R920 caliper set
Vuelta Corsa Superlite wheelset
Bontrager R4 tires (love these)
Look Keo Plus pedals
Been upgrading to get it at least all Rival, the Apex FD and brakes are gone. I have a 1070 cassette on the way, then probably going to do a couple of RXL bottle cages and call it done. I strayed out of the group on the caliper set. I rode those 920R TRPs on a friend's bike, squeezed the levers and darn near threw myself from the bike. He was parting the bike out, and gave me a good deal on a swap from the stock calipers.
Thanks for looking.

2012 Felt Z85. Dork disc still on there, don't really care haha. Will probably switch out the free aluminum bottle cages for some plastic or composite ones.

I'll say it again, one of the best Cervelo builds to date. H.O.T.
Personally, it looks better than the custom madone posted a couple pages back. I'd get rid of the OEM cage but everything else works. HOT.
I like this build as its another one of those framesets you don't see often, but when you do, nothing but compliments for a great looking bike. HOT.

Reminds me of that movie Tron, or maybe a zebra. Normally I find black bikes passe because there are so many, but yours looks cooler than most. Have fun!
