I have a strael 2, built up with mechanical 105, some light hunt wheels comes out at high 8/low9 kilos with pedals and cages. Ride quality is simply wonderful: brilliant to push into a corner, beautifully comfortable. Is it as light as my racey carbon bike, no. Am I entering races/hill climbs on it, also no.
I’ve never regretted buying. You’ll thank yourself if you do
