When you say similar build and 100g heavier frame, what are we taking here?
My frame is supposedly 675ish grams.

Giant tcr sl is 829g but with seatpost included. Similar build as in, 3.4ses wheels, dura ace 9000 and everything cabron. This means that i'm probably suffering about 100g in frame, 100g in powertap and another 200g in misc like pedals, saddle, stem, bar and crankset.

I think my power meter is about 20g.
I didn't buy this bike to have the lightest thing on the block because we all know enve isn't that product, but it sure is one of the best and is light enough.

yeah [MENTION=196850]bianchi10[/MENTION] that's the Exposure MaXxD (I have jokes for that name) and it's great. Best light I've owned by far. It's insanely bright, and on high lasts about 4 hours, plus the mounting system is slick, I just click it into the mount that stays on my bars. I had an Exposure before, but not one this nice... worth the cost of admission.

I am not a fan of that biracial stem. The top cap/spacers/stem kinda blend together, not in a good way. white saddle and white-walled tires are a no. The overall bike is a no. I am jelly of the integrated sensors on the rear chain stay though 
However, difficult color schemes make for a huge potential of a good looking bike in the making, assuming the owner knows a thing or two about how to make a good looking bike.
But as it sits, that bike is at -12Kalvin.

I like it a lot. The frame and fork actually make the chunky stem work, yet the whole thing together is still quite elegant.

aside from stem, which i got fitted to, have at it. this my baby. its a shelf bike, although not very common in the states. i originally was into the matte black frames/bikes but one ride and this just blessed my heart. love my Focus. oddly, i also didn't want a bike with the name splattered all over it. go figure.

I'll give it a 'hot' just for being black and yellow. Personally, among colors on a mostly black bike, I find yellow most appealing. Dark green can also be very attractive with black. Pale green and pale blue are OK, as is orange. Red is OK, but boring, probably only because it's overplayed. Medium or dark blue, or purple on a black bike? Ehhhh... no.

Stem? What about those mega bars?
