14.96lbs as photographed (i.e. including pedals and cadence sensor). Bit disappointed given the wheels weighed 1031g, but then I'm happy with the build and don't want to swap out the Ultegra groupset (Sram Red black cassette) to chase grams (I wanted quite an understated ride!):

    Understated, in a WOW sort of way. Very nice.

    Really nice. Did you go to Cyfac direct? I have the 3T stem and removed the logos with nail polish remover, I think it improves the understated aesthetic

    Very nice! Understated, classy looking.
    Less than 15lbs and you're grumblin'?.......sheesh! Don't much care for the saddle/seatpost but if it works for you then fine and dandy.
    What wheels are those please?

    Wheelset is DT Swiss RRC425F / RRC525R (aka Reynolds MV32UL rims laced onto DT180 hubs with DT Aerolite spokes).

    Agree that the saddle does look odd in the pic (like its too far forward) but its actually nearly as far back as it can go and I can sit on it for hours so hey ho!

    I really like my Charge saddle, if it's comfortable that's half the battle with saddles! Great looking bike

    Except for the gold bits (just not my kinda thing), this is awesome. Just love Cyfac!

    Appreciate that the gold might seem 'blingy' for a supposedly subtle build but where the frame is not painted white or grey, the grey 'raw' carbon weave has a subtle gold tint to it. Must take a better picture!

    New saddle:

    Just need to get a 10mm shorter stem, move the hoods back and rotate the bars round a bit then I'm ready (when the weather improves!).

    I think that's the nicest carbon bike on here. Not a big fan of white spokes though.
