Not at all, they're all superlight. There's a guy on the forums who has his built up to 36.9 lbs with carbon bars and x-0 kit, boxxers and direct mount stem.

HIRIG you could not be more wrong. Karpiel now makes DUNCON. Not the other way around. Jan still does all the welding, duncon just provides them financial support

Duncon purchased Karpiel. Karpiel is a division of Duncon, and Jan works for Duncon, however he basically oversees all Karpiel construction from start to finish. Currently all frames are handled by Jan, he tacks them together, they are sent out for welding, sent to heat treat, back to Jan for alignment, then sent to powder coat and back to Jan for final assembly.

FYI, I have four new 2009 Disco's in stock for sale.
