There is no question that the paint on the frame and fork will add 100 grams to the weight of a bike. I chose to paint my bike because it looks awesome, and the additional weight is static not rotational. But the nice thing about this sport/hobby is that a person can choose to build the dream bike that they want. I will try and post a picture of the frame soon. But wait; there is another way to save hundreds of grams. Thinking outside the bike an on to the shoes of all things. This is a place most cyclists don't even consider. I can't count the number of people e I've seen ridding with titanium spindles on there pedals and shoes that weigh 600 grams or more pair. My shoes are made by Rocket 7 and weigh 367 grams per pair, that?s a savings of 233 grams of rotational weight. An yes, it could still be 100 grams lighter. Post Extras
