Very well and to steal a quote, "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up"

Out of interest, what are the weights of the pro carbon vs xeon x-lite frame (incl fork), if you measured them...?

 

[dudigrinfeld]

I don't yet but based on Rose the Pro weight 1033 while the Xeon X Lite is 850
The bike now in built ill post it soon when I get em back

Did you order the x-lite direct from Rose? Just that they say they don't sell the frame or frameset seperately from a "whole bike" and I was interested in one of their other frames...

Fasta
You are right Rose doesn't sell the frame only. I looked for a while in the German eBay website and went on a bid, for this frame ,brand new, and I got the bid.

The Xeon X Lite DI2 is ready 6.8kg as it seems
