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? Post Extras
