Please correct me if I'm wrong, but is the weight of the frame not rather disappointing given the claimed weight by Specialized for a 56 frame with 825g?

54 headtube still too tall eh? Building it like WT pro bike.

That's a 35g difference. Totally within tolerance and still a fantastic weight for a gravel frame

35g heavier for a size 52. Who knows what the 56 would actually weigh.Maddie wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 1:14 pm??ChrisRideLog wrote:Please correct me if I'm wrong, but is the weight of the frame not rather disappointing given the claimed weight by Specialized for a 56 frame with 825g?

Not defending it but there's probably 30g of stickers (chainstay protector and downtube), 9g for the metal cover for cables and maybe 15g for the RD hanger? The latter two items I think should be included in frame weights but the frame protectors probably contribute a bulk of the weight discrepancy.ChrisRideLog wrote:Please correct me if I'm wrong, but is the weight of the frame not rather disappointing given the claimed weight by Specialized for a 56 frame with 825g?

Pretty standard dimensions. I just ride a pretty aggressive fit.rothwem wrote:Jeez, 130mm stem on this thing? You must have some interesting dimensions, the reach on this bike is already really long.
This is a sweet build.... looks perfect for the Ponies ride - look forward to seeing it soon!

Btw good choice of the color. If I would pick one, it would have the same color.

So that's the Dusty Blue/Ice Papaya colourway? Looks like the blue is almost black, or is that just the lighting?
