Pics, or it didn't happen.
1kg steel frames were mooted at the launch of 953, but actual medium sized frames built stiff enough for normal people are coming out nearer to 1.3-1.4kg. Maybe if you selected only the thinnest available 953 tubes and made a 48cm sloping frame with profiles selected to keep the butts as short as possible you could get down to 1000g, but that's a weight that carbon can hit in a frame properly specced for a big heavy rider like Thor Hushovd to race at Paris-Roubaix.
