I did a quick sum of all the weights I found online for the various sizes and models. For Non RDC there too few data points, but for RDC I could calculate the average and the average deviation. I tried to use / correct the numbers to how SEKA weighs them, with derailleur mounts.
RDC XL: 972g, average deviation +/- 12g
RDC L: 948g, average deviation +/- 23g
RDC M: 901g, average deviation +/- 12g
RDC S: 891g, average deviation +/- 6g
Exceed L: 1070g (single data point)
Exceed M: 1052g, average deviation +/- 14g
S and M seem really close, you can get an M that is lighter than an S. Maybe the same layup between S and M, with just slightly larger sheets, while L and higher probably get some additional sheets of carbon thrown in some place.
The numbers for RDC L include two white frames, which explains the higher average deviation in that size.
The added weight for a white frames vs average black frame is a whopping 60g in size L.
So Weight Weenies will need to go size S or M in black, Style Weenies may pick white and size to fit.
