At nearly 1.7 kgs this is not the lightest alloy frame on the market, but most of the metal is in the key areas it should be. A super stiff & well thought out frame design. If you are a smaller lighter rider, you may wish to look at other lighter frames with a little more flex. But for the big guys out there, you will get maximum value for each pedal stroke. I normally try to upgrade about once a year - not this year though! This one can stay around for at least another 12 months.
