Anyone know about the Fuji Team Super Lite?
I'm looking at a size 56 team Super Lite frameset, that looks kind of like this:
I've read that it builds up to about 15.5lb bike, and that it's supposed to have a full carbon fork. I believe it's a 2003.
I've also heard that it's a BD bike that was spec'd identically to the Moto Le Champion. Can anyone confirm?
I want an aggressive stiff frame that I can build up in the < 16lb range, but I don't want to trade my Colnago frameset for something that doesn't perform sensationally (like the 'Nago does). I do a lot of climbing, high speed descending, and race criterium. I'm a big guy, by cycling standards, and like to throw by weight around a lot.
Also, while I don't necessarily expect to trade my frame for one of the same pedigree, I don't want to trade a Colnago frame for a Bikes Direct frame. I was hoping for a frame more like this one:

AFAIK it's the same frame but different forks on the LeChamp. Either one builds up to a nice crit bike.

Only the front half. My frame is like the Fuji Roubaix with CF seat stays and not as stiff. The LeChamp is a bit more aggressive with a shorter head tube. The rest of the geo is the same.
