I picked up my 57 Gallop frame today. I told Will and Roman about my weight weenie build intentions, and they were entertained. Will said he doubted I could get it into the 19-pound range, and I told him it hinged on the claimed frame weight on the Gallop page. He didn't remember that there is/was a weight claim on there. The quote is:
"A 57cm frame weights about 4.8lb. That's plenty light." I didn't actually expect it to be quite that light, given that my Roadeo frame weighed in at almost exactly that weight. My guess for the fork weight was 970g. I did my weigh in and the fork came in light at 930g with the (practically weightless) crown race. The frame though was a full 2528g with the headset cups still pressed in. That's about a half-pound heavier than the claim on the webpage. That's also about 1/4 pound lighter than my RoadUno frame, and about 3/4 pound heavier than my Roadeo frame. That actual weight makes my sub-20 pound target a little harder. It may end up being more like 20-1/4 pounds. We'll see if I can make up that 115 grams elsewhere.
