Why does a bike with such a light frame come out weighing 17 lbs? What kind of boat anchor components are you putting on that thing?

I would buy this for racing https://www.cannondale.com/bikes/09/c...5D_9RA95C.html and use the extra 2K to buy race wheels, coaching entry fees, travel, food...

I used to want a Scott until they started selling them in the US...
Seems pricy....the Ltd is $12,699.99 WTF? WOW!!
What is the frame only price? I would think 3500 and that is there lowest level they offer...buy the frame fork and build from there....your have a better bike in the end than stock OEM stuff...

Hell, Cervelo does the same thing with their $5500 S2, nice components but then there's the Ultegra cassette (idiots, what's the OEM difference between the D.A. and Ultegra cassettes, $30?) and throw away boat anchor friggin Shimano wheels I wouldn't put on my crappiest rain bike. I'm upgrading the wheels and the cassette. But if they had the nice wheels and D.A. cassette, the MSRP on the bike would be $6K +, but that's what all the competing models from Cdale, Trek, etc. cost in that range anyway. Go figure.

I have considered the Scott Addict with D.A. 7900. Decided on the Cervelo S2 with the D.A. 7900, opting for stiffness/aero over lightness.
But I have read nothing but raves from reviewers about the Scott Addict. Sounds like a great racing bike.

I rode the Addict R1 and loved it, but out of my price range. $3300 for the frame-set alone. Picked up a 2009 CR1 and am tremendously impressed.
I'm actually shocked how much the Scott seat weighs. It felt heavy but I didn't realize it was that much. I think I'm below 17lbs now with the saddle swap:
PS: The addict does have a replaceable derailleur hanger.

For racing I would build up a CAAD9. For 3.5K you could build it with full Red, and every bling part imaginable. And only the world biggest jackassposertool would argue the racing pedigree of a CAAD9.
Do you want a race bike, or a name?

Pcad, regarding the choice of cassette on the S2:
I think they're doing you a favor. Ultegra cassettes will last way longer than DA ones for most people because the DA has titanium cogs.
I'll send you $30 for that Ultegra cassette if it's an 11-23. You can buy a new DA one every 2 months...
