I don't think so mate, but I'm no expert.
I would have thought weight was a better indicator?

He gives the weight as frame: 1630 g and fork: 680 g so 2.3 kg rather than 2.8 kg. A SR headset, which would often be fitted to a frame like this, is only about 100 g or so, and you can double that for a Record steel headset.
A road race frame might have a bit more metal in it as this one takes a 27.0mm seat post, and so is the lighter guage of 753, but you're still looking at 300-400 g or so to hit 2800 g...
