Just messing around with this for the new Solo thingy (alloy version)

Apparently XT build with dropper post is 30.13 lbs
XTR with dropper is 27.62
XX1 wih dropper is 26.85

wheels and tires look same on all 3, only other difference I can see is easton haven carbon to thomson carbon bars, different stem, and ti railed saddle

I don't believe weight losses of 2.5 to 3.5 lbs (- anyone dabbled with this? maybe its the sheer shock of the prices!

thanks

Maybe they do it like most on STW, stand on the bathroom scales, then stand on with the bike?

but did arse about with another bike on the bike builder, and reductions were less, so assume they've got it wrong
