from my brother alejandro, i know frame is an scott.

true or fake

My vote is fake. Maybe 8 kg, but even that's really pushing it with 3 rings and a front mech.

If it was weighed with the fishing scale pictured, that would explain it.

I believe its close to legit. Most of those parts are crazy light.

Also misses the part where he uses the shonkiest cheapo scale for measuring parts, or doesn't weigh parts and just uses manufacturer weights. It could be lighter, or heavier, than stated.

Alejandro from Barcelona, uh-oh. As soon as I saw 'Klein', and then his photo, it completely undermined any credibility for his claim.

And the article itself is written by him too. Goodyes was his username on here.

A friend of mine that raced in the 90s-00s had a tricked-out Seven that he got down to 6.8 kg. He said it could weigh less if he used skinnier tires and some less reliable parts. He'd recon it would weigh around 6kg. Not sure if a carbon frame would shed 1 kg.
