Agreed on all points here. I'm not comparing it to the mountain bikes I've ridden, I'm comparing it to the two vintage road bikes I have now.

The Free Spirits were described above as being heavy and my bike definitely wasn't so I can rule out it being a FS. Thanks for the mention of the American Eagles, another brand to check out.
