titianium is ******.

I think the reason you don't see super light fixed frames are that most fixed frames are built for the track, where stiffness is more important than weight. If i recall, the minimum weight for the TdF is about 16lbs, so thats where most of the top of the line road bikes fall.
As for frames, with the exception of the few listed here, usually fixed+road geometry+light weight = Custom. |
That pista concept must be an uber light frame as the wheels weight in a 2000g!
|
A 55 cm Pista Concept with frame and fork is 2.8 pounds... I think. Could be wrong though.

the lemond filmore is actually pretty light
|
I'd guess that a cannondale track frame (CAAD 5) would be pretty light, i think it was called the Major Taylor
|
I'm not sure which c'dale frame you mean, but i picked up one of these:
