This bike is so sexy.
Iirc, that frame isn't very light. Any idea what the projected final weight will be?

The frame is about 250 grams heavier than the advertised weight so it certainly isn't a light weight. I really have no idea what it is going to weigh once complete but I hope it is in the 16 pound range. Nothing on it is really light. That may change over time though if I end up keeping it for a while.

No. I contacted Wrench Science about it the evening I received the frameset. The rep told me that he would overnight me one. Two days later I called to check on it since I hadn't received it yet. I was then told that it was shipped the same day I called by UPS ground. That was almost three weeks ago.
I contacted Baer Cycling to see if they had one in stock and if I could buy one. They did have one in stock, however they wouldn't accept payment, they sent it for free. That was Friday and I received it today.

Nope, they are clinchers. The pair weighs in at 1755, built with 50mm clinchers, White Industry hubs, DT Comp spokes with brass nipples.

Why don't you get cheap metal cages and find a place to get them anodized to match your brakes?

I appreciate the suggestion but I'm happy with the elite cages for the time being.

You're right, sorry about that. I'll close the thread later in order to avoid boring anyone else.
