Are there still any sub-UCI limit bikes from the major manufacturers?
Yes, you can get below the limit with some component swaps. But as shipped?
OK, I found one--just barely below the limit:
Scott Addict RC Ultimate, 6.7 kg, $15,999.99.
Still heavier than my 2011 Addict, which was 6.5 kg as shipped (and less than half the price). With some component swaps (wheels, cranks), it was easy to get mine below 6.3 kg (even after adding power pedals).
