That's a bit nice.

Any idea of weight? Pretty light I'd imagine?

When I weighed my perthus frame, 56cm frame only including the headset cups, it came out at 1.6kg, I would guess this would be about 1.3kg.

Well, after balancing it on the kitchen scales it comes in at under 2.4kg for frame, forks, headset, and all the other bolts you see in the pics. Not the most accurate measurement method perhaps but I did 'calibrate' the scales with a bag of flour beforehand.
I'm in West Sussex.
