Is that the bars at the bottom? Quite a bit heavier than advertised..! That should be considered misselling in my opinion

I'll re-weigh them. I can't weight them on a flat surfce, so I have to pick the scales up and do it that way, which messes up at a guess.

Stem weights 104.....bars an stem weigh 475 so the bars weigh 371grams...yup, seems they're about 100grams off as it states 295g for the 42cm, which mine are, not a big deal, but yes, I'll tell Deda about that.

I'd say 30% inaccuracy is pretty big

It is for their advertising, but I mean it's not a big deal to me!

Svard - I thought I'd move the topic to here seeing as it's no longer Chinese frames.

I have this frame in mind, and can afford it over the next few weeks.

I'm not sure if I can get £299 for the PX for a while now as I'm being messed around.

How's this as a 2nd option? I can pay for it this week if it's good?
