I think those BikesDirect Fens cost $700 shipped. I have an earlier blue one that I'm just now replacing the wheels on and want to get a compact crank to replace the triple. They really ride smoothly.

Looks good, but it looks like you could use a setback seatpost. Also, some new bottle cages maybe? I think the Tacx Tao would look good on there.

I respect a wallet bike, I prefer building them myself though...
But I dont know, a nice Moots or an older Litespeed may get me there too...

My fens still weighs in at just under 22 lbs with it race ready (No bottles, no saddle bag, etc). Definitely not the lightest bike but it gets the job done. I will most likely upgrade at the end of the season. If I could drop 5 lbs on the bike, that would help a ton (since I weigh 140lbs and can't really lose much more). At least I got it looking somewhat good though.

Oh I built the bike myself. In fact this is its third or fourth incarnation....7800 then 6600 then back to 7800 then SR11 then 7900....
By wallet bike I mean there is nothing on it that is custom built or has any panache like a fancy Pinarello frame or Lightweights. My bike looks like any other bike on any bike rack at any LBS and thats just fine by me

my bike is 17.75 lb and it is the new 2011 allez.....if it wasnt for the stupid tapered fork, I could lose an easy 200g+ (the fork weighs 620g)....

You could save 320+ grams with the LTD fork, just a matter of waiting until it's being sold(not long I guess).

Throw the stick!!!!
I'm embarassed to know this, but once you get into the weight weenie side of this hobby/sport it is not uncommon for it to cost anywhere from $1 to $5 per gram of weight loss.
