Weight of a bare Giant OCR frame?

I'm wondering if anyone's weighed a bare Giant OCR frame. Mine is a
2000 Small (50cm) It doesn't matter if its an OCR-1, -2 or -3, as the
difference is the component group.

Weight Weenies doesn't list OCR but TCR small is 972.5 grams averaging
frames of 970 and 975 grams

The TCR frames are constructed of "SuperLight Alcalyte CU92" butted
aluminum. The OCR frames are constructed of "ALUXX 6061" butted
aluminum. Even with a 25% increase in weight, the OCR would still come
in at 1216g or 2lb 11oz. Is that a light or typical frame weight for a
sub US$1000 bike?

I'm upgrading the bike to Ultegra so I decided to strip the frame,
clean and weigh it. Other than the threaded headset's cups and
bearings and the FD braze-on mount it's just the aluminum tubing and
paint. On my Pelouze PE5 digital scale the weight is 1474g, or 3 lb 4
oz. That's 51% heavier than the TCR mentioned above.
