What would be the weight savings over 8-sp DA STI using the modern 10-sp Chorus?
Not a definitive answer, but maybe helpful:

Ritchey Road Logic, 58 cm, with steel fork
8 speed Dura Ace kit
Ritchey seatpost
Salsa steel stem
Cinelli Nerve bar
32 hole D/A hubs laced to Velocity Aerohead rims
Avocet 02 Air 40r saddle
Look A3.1 pedals

Weight: 21 1/2 lbs


59 cm Battaglin, with MAX tubing (including MAX-bladed fork)
2006 Chorus kit (excepting the RD and SP, which are Centaur)
Phil Wood BB
Chris King HS (threaded)
3T Motus stem
Cinelli Nerve bars
Fulcrum Racing 5 wheels (Not in this picture)
Avocet 02 Air 40r saddle
Look A3.1 pedals

Weight: 22 1/2 lbs.


The MAX frame and fork are probably 1.5 lbs heavier than the Ritchey frame and fork.
