Hello,
I have bought a second hand Sworks Tarmac SL6 at my local bike shop a couple months ago.
I have just weighted it and it's at 8,2kg and i really don't understand how is that possible.
It's a full ultegra R8000 rimbrake build and there are no saddle bags, lights or whatever. Just a thing to put the garmin on and two bottle cages.
Wheels are 1475g a pair, I know I can save a good 150g on my pedals, 200g on the stem and bars and 100g on lighter innetubes, but we even with these upgrades i'm still quite far away from 7kg.
It feels like even with unlimited amount of money, it's impossible to reach a 7kg build on my Tarmac while i've seen a video of a pro of his weighting 7,1kg with disks and 50mm deep wheels
Am I tripping or is there something weird going on here ?

Can you show us a picture of your bike? What frame size? Which wheels?

Yall know how they have the place that names a star for a fee? I'm thinking of weighing bikes on the moon, how much should I charge? Cerificate of Authenticity included of course...
