Yes, it is like my Cannondale R1000 that way. Not a bike I'd ride a century on, but he has his Gran Sport for that.
It may not show in the pics but I did some stuff to prepare the bike for living in the rain. Section of inner tube around the lower headset race. O-ring over the stem. I'm going to put a section of fat tire inner tube over the seatpost/binder bolt area. Drop of oil at each spoke nipple/eyelet. I need to get a can of Framesaver.
Edit : 22.1 lb w/ pedals. A bit heavier than I hoped. Mavic is not for weight weenies I guess.
