[quote="djembi"]my cervelo slc is 6.1kg with reynolds tubs on.

the crankset is a clavicula carbon one which is very light and also the wheels are the KOM ones.

It's a shame aerodynamics are not as easily comparable as weight (even with a power meter)- with the emphasis moving towards the former in recent years (road) to achieve maximum performance, we could have an "aero-weenies" forum, with people comparing the Cx of their helmets, discussing which shaver to use to result in maximum skin smoothness, and exchanging tricks of the trade like building DYI foil covers for bike's tubes - a whole new area of undiscovered geekness

I think we still have a way to go yet with the weight thing though Sylv.

I reckon sub 4 kg will become the standard before too long. I've already held a full road bike that light.

The challenge will be to get the handling, stiffness and durability right. And since I feel the current crop of carbon wheels are rubbish in terms of durability, I think it will be a while before the ulitmate lightweight bike is created.

But aerodynamics will increasingly become a main issue, I think it is coming more to the fore at the moment though because of the UCI 6.8kg limit.
