lightweight road frame

[un]

Hi,
I'm looking for a proven, lightweight road frame for AXS.

Preferably with geometry similar to the Trek Madone Gen 8 M/L.

Ideally, it would be Pinarello-style, but I'm considering other models.

It's important that it's lightweight and of good quality!

Please help me, preferably with links, where to order and there won't be any problems with delivery!

Thanks in advance for your help!

For sure you should consider the Avenger Shuttle SL! I know that the style is quite different, but they have their own painting pattern, you can choose your own. This year they also provided Ultralight version, even lighter than mine. In general, great frameset, great bike! I have it since last year, I rode on it several events, in the mountains, and also on flats. No issues at all, stiff, good handling and very light. Mine is 6.1 kg in size 58 in 1x12 SRAM mixed setup.

At the moment for flats I have 50t on the front and 10-36 on the back. For serious mountains 44t and 10-44 garbaruk cassette. For event which I did last year I had 46t.

Very soon I will have another Avenger, the R8-RS, I/ swapping my Elves EXP, it's too low for me.

If you want I should still have 100 USD discount code.

Doesn't seem particularly light compared to LTK266-D-SL or even more mainstream QUICK PRO AR:One. But I am curious to see what other other superlight frame exist.

Hmm, 6.1 kg for a bike in size 58, so large on a 40 mm wheels, tubeless setup, 30 mm Conti archetype tires, varia and garmin mount, two bottle cages, pedalsa, bike ready to go. I would say it's light. I could have some savings, probably the integrated handlebar, pedals, seatpost, saddle. However, I hit more than 1400 w, I want to feel safe, as the weight is rather important only on paper.

Noice. What kinda tire clearance you got?

I am not talking about the the full build which is impressive, more like the frame is not the most lightweight by today's standard

Since I bought it I have 30 mm tires. Based on the information provided on the website, the maximum is 32 mm. I have quite wide wheels, internal 26 mm, external 34 mm - XMCS, those fits without any issues.

Are there any options besides that Avenger?

[Mariuszuzd]

You have quite a lot, evolve, quickpro, bigrock, spcycle, ican, incolor. All depends what is your price expectations.

Ican FL1, about 6.8 kg as in photo, frame is 800 gr

It's hard to find a size that fits me

At the moment, I'm strongly considering the LTK266-D-SL.
I still need to confirm the quality of these frames.
It looks like it might be a good option and is even close to my ideal frame size.
