Updated first post, they're now working with EXS to integrate the Aerover. :D

230 g stembar is much less possible. The 230g target was initially disigned by EXS with external routing, hence no extra reinforement required. It was just strong enough with little headroom. However, Eliliee wants a 230 g internal routing one on their bike.

I believe the internal routing target weight was originally 270g...quite aggressive indeed

My frameset is supposed to be shipped next week.
Please post weight photos in this thread when you can! What size and color?

I will for sure but it's already delayed. They told me mid February because of the switch to the EXS bar/stem.
It's the standard frame, not XXE. Size S, black gloss.

It arrived. More details to follow. It is very very well made and even lighter than advertisedImage

Oh my that looks quite nice! How was the packaging? Was it Seka Exceed-esque or more of a plain box?

It's nice to see that WeightWeenies turned from "how much does it weight?" to "show me the cardboard box".

Thanks for the update Maddie.

Looking forward to see a few detailed photos on the frame and eventually the bike built up and ready to roll (please) :-)

Maddie, that wasn't a comment to your photos.
After your first picture where you stated "lighter than advertised" I would have expected guys to ask "how much lighter?".
A mere joke.

So I will ask, how much lighter is it than advertised?
Thanks.
