So it is not a legend that paint is quite heavy compared to the frame weight.
Do you take into account a varnish that you may have added after ?
How did you remove the paint ? Did it take a long time ?
140 grams total including a layer of matte clear coat. Without that, 155 grams would have been saved. The frame weighs 1670 grams including all bolts, washers, bearings and the derailleur hanger. The brain shock adds about 400 grams.
This time, I removed it not by myself. But the guy used a blade to scratch it off. Maybe 10 to 15 hours of work.
