Just did a light weight project for Fairwheel Bikes in Tucson, AZ
It's a Specialized Tarmac SL8.
Frame weight: 860.4 grams
Fork weight: 405.6 grams
We took 136.1 grams of paint off the frame and 37.1 grams of paint off the fork. The weight of the blue accents and 1 coat of clear only added 1.5 grams to the fork and only 4.0 grams of paint to the frame.
Total weight savings came to 169.2 grams.
Frame weight after: 728.3 grams
Fork weight after: 358.6 grams
