The two things we know about 953 are:

1: It's stainless
2: It's the lightest steel tubeset in current use

Those being the case, why would you plaster 200g of paint over it?

I used to weigh "heavy" paint against net frame weigh few years now.
They never exceed 45g -50g on no56 frames though they carry the tougher
base coat that i can use, at least 3 layer color scene, vinyl stickers, water slide
decals and at least 2 layer clear coat.

Most of them are close to 35g-40g and 7g-14g on fork.

Only electrostatic paint could be 70g - 140g per layer but i don't know
why someone would like something like this on a good road bike...

Stainless it's another metal surface when we talk aesthetics. I can't have
as a norm that every stainless bike should be naked.
My norm is that a bike should consistent its' rider character - culture
with whatever urges him to ride more or not been bored.

Writing grams as gr is fucking confusing... I was trying to translate in my head all through that. I sound like an idiot for saying this, but it took me about a minute to read that and understand the points.

I'm sure he meant gram, but gr is actually the abbreviation for the much smaller imperial unit grain
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_(unit)
1g = 15.432gr

I know, that's what I meant by translating: I was reading it saying "70 to 140 grai..no, grams, per..."

It my just have been the way I was taught, but hearing you two talking about imperial measurements makes me feel young... cheers! :D

Right bike.

Wrong background.

Lightweights, but a Power2Max?

Does not compute.

Those spokes can gtfo.

What's the issue?

What's the issue?

The 1st gen P2M had a load of issues with inconsistent readings- not so useful as it's sold as a precision measuring device.

The 2nd gen may have solved those problems- too soon to tell right now.

If you can splash the cash that Lightweights require (plus the rest of the bike) it would suggest that a more reliable PM could have been afforded.

So- strange choice, a PM from the budget end of the spectrum with an iffy rep, slapped on an otherwise high end bike.

TL;DR

sorry, i mix it up with its' counterpart in greek that has two digits...

Hahah. Not a problem, I just found it confusing.

Strangely drawn to that ^
