Actual weight savings (5900 v. 5500)
#3795 - 07/26/04 07:07 PM (144.92.19.117)

Does anyone know the actual difference in weight between 2004 5900's and 5500's?

I see a savings of about 365 grams in the fork, stem, and wheels.

How much difference is there in the frame and headset? Someone once wrote that the frame itself is only ~1 oz lighter, but that a reworking of the headset allowed an additional 6 oz of savings. Does anyone know the real story? 110 v. 120 oclv does NOT imply a 9% savings in frame weight, as one might simplemindedly suggest.

Anyone? Anyone?
