Yes. The bottom bracket is mainly what makes it light.

Does a BB shell really make that much of a difference?

Not really but when it's down to the ounces it does.

I have a martyr......it is not a mid bb it is a maltese bb wich is a threadless euro with 4 bearings instead of 2, wich makes it stronger then mid because the stress on your spindle is more spread out

Yeah it's cool. I wouldn't buy it just because of weight though, if you like the specs get it it's a good frame.

The maltese bb is holding up well.....i didnt buy it for weight i can do all the same stuff on a 30+ pound bike as i can on mine, i wanted a frame with brake mounts and i got it for 199 bucks so it was a good deal
