Most bikes look pretty similar these days. They all use the same ideas or in some cases literally the same frames. But it's like

Weight :
Frame: 1200 ±50g
Fork: 540g ±15g
Seat post: 170g ±10g

The S-Works Crux is almost half a kilo lighter in just the frame.

I'm (mostly) just messing around. I have done, and will continue to, fall for a nice marketing campaign and brand values.

Weight weenie-ism and gravel don't seem like a good marriage to me, however. 700 grams for a frameset is nuts.

My plan was to use it to replace my ancient S-Works Tarmac.

I've got the MTBs for anything other than Champagne Gravel™

But I'm not paying £6k for a used one. If I was going superlight I might pay half that for a used Canyon Grail/Grizl.
