Observations:
- Holy crap, they actually thought of a worse way to make carbon frames
- The spec levels all have mtb components. In fact no distinction seems to be made anywhere between road and mountain bikes other than handlebar shape.
- They claim 16.5 pounds on some completely unspecified build with alu wheels and "Shimano Groupset", while the builds they actually offer have no listed weights.
- A fucking Boardman carbon with partial 105 costs $1000 and is 19.5lb. You could probably get that to 16.5 for less than whatever the mythical 16.5 pound build costs and it would probably even still manage to have better mfg quality.
>>15307901.3kg is significantly heavier than high end aluminum. Emonda ALR is 1112g in 56cm, I'm sure other brands are similar.
