Mine came out way under 7kg so you're probably correct. Awesome bikes

I hope so,going to test ride her in the hills around here on Sunday.
Just need to get some light climbing wheels.

Perfect with the white saddle and bartape.

Lovely.

I absolutely love Canyons especially with Campag.

I would stick with your plan for black tape etc. I will look magnificent.

Congrats!

For reference, this is how it looks in black.

Nice one Black it is.Just been for my first test ride up a few hills and it handles lovey up&down,Trying to compare it to my other Bikes and I got to say it feels like my old Cannondale Caad6 si for stiffness but not harsh perfect for racing.viewtopic.php?f=40044&t=12675778&p=15893172#p15893172

Surprised its 7kg, I'd've thought more with that group and those wheels.

hairyleg

Well I did use the bathroom scales method LoL.... guess the weight??

With Ksyrium Equipe? Something more like 7.5-7.8kg.

At one point my build was very similar, but with Ksyrium Elite and PX Brakes (significantly lighter than Ksyrium Equipe and Centaur brakes) and it weighed 7.4kg. Dodgy bathroom scales technique too, but quite decent digital bathroom scales.

The weight is not so important though. The frame is very, very good. That is what you will notice.

Agree,I'm the Sprinter type so needs to be stiff which it is.

Love these self builds!
