Which frame weighs lighter?

That one then.

 

Weight Weeeeeennniiiiieeee... ;)

 

What about efficiency, converting the power you're putting in to best use with nothing getting wasted? I'm happy to throw in a few 100g more if I know that when I stomp on the pedal it's all getting used.

 

I can save that 100g's by dropping the extra spare tube, bomb or a pie!

So which is better at transferring power into the bike?

The Scott foil 15 / 20 but it's not what you'd call that comfortable. Rode a friends one, jeez nothing is wasted in that frame, so, so stiff and totally efficient at power transfer.

 

it's not a pure lightweight frame (by 100gms or so) but put the hammer down on that and it flies even with the heavier than you'd spec wheels. It is a race bike and doesn't let you forget that.
