long story but i'm the head mehanic at a local shop well i road a cannondale caad 5 for years but never was happy with the bike didn't fit well and a little nervous and flexy (bet you've never heard a c-dale described that way but the front was very) and besides a little on the weak side (i've seen many dented c-dales) well in 03 i employee purchaced a allez ellite mainly for the frame and upgraded it from time to time now it's 17lbs ready to ride (pedals bottle cages and a computer), dura ace with some 105 shifters and front derailuer, speedplay, velomax and ritchey wcs stuff well a friend of mine loves my bike and we made a deal she's paying my price for a s-works frame and fork and getting my A1 frame and C3 fork (02 model much lighter than C2 that came on the bike). yeah i know how sweet a deal this is but it was her idea so..........

here's the question i believe my 52 A1 weighs about 2.5 pounds and the E5 will be about 2-2.2. any guesses as to the actual weight on both frames? i'll post the numbers when the new frame comes in on wednesday.

sorry for the delay in getting getting the answer up was a little busy, weighted them both with headset so it was an apples to apples comparision. A1 weight in at 3 lbs even and S-works E5 at 2.7 both are 52's and included the headsets. btw stiffness on the E5 is incredible while ride is quite simalar.
