With the carbon Psimets it weighs 16.5ish pounds. With the lightweight Psimets it weighs a hair under 15.5 pounds. The Colnago frameset weighs a good bit more than the SL1 frameset. I believe this model SL1 was the lightest frameset that Fuji ever made. When I raced this frame (before I sold both of my SL1's to a friend) my race bike weighed 14.2 pounds and the training bike weighed about 16.5 pounds. I bought this frameset back from him a month or two ago. Even though it is lighter, I still prefer the Colnago and believe the Colnago is faster.

I guess I am going to have to break down and ride another Cervelo one of these days. I have only ridden one and I absolutely hated it.

There is certainly something about them. I have ridden a lot of nice bikes, so far my Colnago is my favorite.

One day I will build a Colnago, with Campy, and all Extralite parts, and every single part will be Italian. It will have a white saddle, and bartape, and I will only ride it on 65 deg days with low humidity, as to not sweat on it, and to minimize dirt, and wear, and tear. I don't know why, but hell why not. It's hard to justify not owning another bike.

Which one did you ride? S2/SLC are the best riding bikes I've ever had the joy of throwing a leg over.

My New (to me) Ridley Crossbow
So, I posted in the Cyclecross thread but now that I've got a half-decent photo I thought I'd share here. I know she's a cyclecross but I'm riding her as a road bike so I thought I'd share.
Not a bad bike for $100 (I'm the third owner and got it cheap from a race member from a local Caglary cyclecross team who inherited it for free). Going to dress her up a bit since I can't really afford much right now. Maybe in the next year I'll be able to save up enough to actually buy a proper and nice road bike the likes I've seen (and drooled over) on this thread.

Having had all sorts of bikes from cheap alloy, carbon colnago, look, cervelo S2, alloy/carbon colnago, Ti Litespeed I've finally settled. I think. I've also settled on wheels after having used all sorts from Aksiums to Bora Ultra Two via Zipp and Dura ace.
Got a 2011 Cervelo R3, Sram Red, Rotor 3D+ Cranks, 3T finishing kit, Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels.
Pictures to follow...

Picked up a new bike today, smaller than the one I had. More comfortable, and on top of that, the bike itself is way better. Much more stiff, light, nimble.
Haven't had it fit yet, feels good enough right now, will git a "pro" fit on Wednesday.
