Me too. Thinking about getting the Xenith SL frameset since I am getting tired of waiting for Felt to come up with a permanent solution for the F series fork recall.
I believe internal routing is on deck...we have it on our 2011 Xenith Team Di2 which is sick! I am not in product development though. The weight on a 54 cm frame should come in right around 13.5 lbs w/out pedals.....the bike is ridiculous!

Oh....i must have miss it...heehee...was eyeing the SL and did not really look at the Team issue....

notice that the SL do not have the internal routing..why is that since SL being the higher end model compare to Team??
I ordered an SL frameset and should have it by mid February. Can anyone confirm the weight. I would like to build a sub 15 lb bike on a tight budget. I am taking off some of the Red group from my current Felt.

i got a 2011 sl frame in march because my Trek 5.9 cracked at the rear seat stay and trek would not warranty it. man am i happy they didnt. the Jamis blows the trek out of the water. in 16yrs of racing the Jamis is the best bike i have ever ridden, hands down. mine tips the scale at 14.14lbs with my Rolf TDF 58's. this bike really shines in crits, but is still a great RR frame. i am looking forward to crit season because this thing is a rocket in the sprints. i hope you got one.
