...the colours are very similar so my wife doesnt know I upgraded.

 

Haha, sneaky!

Compared the 2 frames earlier in the week. On the French website they had the frame weights. The ISP is about 500g lighter, which I thought was a lot. Not 100% sure if the TCR weight excl the seatpost weight, but if you add the weight of the seatpost - then the difference will be about 800g.

 

This is quite significant!!

That is possible on the 2012 frames since the tcr advanced now has an alu steerer I believe as previously commented. I think on the 2011 frame the difference is way less, unless they give the weight without the seatpost which is likely.

the ultegra Di2 is something new to me ... probably only small saving in weight.

 

i have contacted them before via mail and pm but never received a reply. will try again to get some info on the 2012 frames. i will post information here should i receive any info.
