How light is lightweight? The Venge's carbon fiber frame weighs a scant 2.09 lbs, a figure that's some 10-15% lighter than some of the most high tech existing bike frames. But don't expect to see it in stores anytime soon; the only example was recently peddled in the Milan-San Remo road race last weekend by Toue de France winner Mark Cavendish.

... isn't new.
BMW, Porsche and Mercedes are in bikes since many decades.
BWM since the 50th.
Expensive... but very good quality. Made in Germany and not from the masters of copy - Chinese bullshit:angryfire:
