My 2003 model weighs 9kg (x2.2 for lbs) with Look pedals.

I love it! The only change I made was the saddle.

Just bought one a couple wks ago. What a beautiful bike! What sold me was the overall package: full ultegra, great headset and forks, Klein-esque welds, beeeaaautiful paint job. The wheelset will definitely get upgraded when it wears out (krysium equipe).

And the price tag was surprisingly acceptable - I was looking at felts (~F50) and think this specialized is a comparable value.

On the road - great ride, pretty nimble/fast geometry. Very stiff, but not too harsh -- the carbon forks + seatpost seem to do a good job of absorbing vibration. And the red paint is definitely faster...

I went back to the shop where I was looking at the bike and got them to put the bike on a scale. A 56cm stock without pedals weighs 18 3/8 lbs.

Go back and buy it this time!

I'm a couple hundred short. In a few weeks it will be mine if it's still there. If not I'll wait for next years model.
