As already noted, if your bike is in the 17-18 pound range, there's very little to be gained with a lighter frame. Most of the lightest weight frames cost about $5000. That's a lot to pay to take seconds off your ride time. My frames weight about 1000 grams and my total bike weight is is the 17-18 pound range, depending on which wheels I have on. Paying big bucks won't save even a pound. If you have body weight to lose, that's where to start.
