a lot of the on-line reviews do the weights because they get sick of people asking. some brands, giant specifically, I think pay for them not to weigh them or only allow the review to occur on that priviso

I tried the cannondale. Couldn't like the graphics design and the budget didn't fit the bmc gf01 ultegra di2 disc.
