How the heck does Scott get their CR1 frames so light?

I implore you not to get anything without riding it for a while first.
Test-rides only make a difference if you don't know what your fit is (stupid!) or if you care about ride quality (weakling!)

There must be a low mark up on Scotts. I tried to talk to my LBS about getting a frame and the manager did everything he could to get me off the subject.
What is interesting is that in the linked test the Scott is labelled a standard performance frame rather than a high performance frame.
Now why anyone would get a Cyfac is another story.

Get a Litespeed. Excellent idea. Be sure it's a $6,000+ Ghisallo. My buddy let me ride his and it was like riding a parking meter post.

I have the best position on this bike compared to any other road bike I have used. Why do you dislike the six13. Are you referring to the 06 one?

As for six13 having zero bling. Well in Europe they have loads of BLING ( i presume that is "coolness" factor or in Spanish "guay").
In the same way I consider ORBEA to have 0 bling but maybe in the US they have bling.
What is "bling" round here is dusting someone on a climb or descent who has really top equipment but is just riding for the bling factor yet he can't climb or descend or even put it smooth turns.
Bling is having a really good value for money bike and dusting others.

When I had my Tarmac, I went to the same places and never got any comments or remarks. The Tarmac was a fantastic bike but after I test rode the Scott, I sold my Tarmac two days later and bought the Scott. I guess it's just a matter of opinion.
