My observation is that most FGs are steel framed and have generally heavy wheels, even expensive ones. I have a 1976 Schwinn Paramount P14 steel track bike that is only 49cm and has very light tubular box section rims/tires and no brake, and it weighs 17 lbs. I'm sure that a 60cm version would be a good pound heavier. I see that the Wabi has a "thin walled tubing frame", so I sure hope you treat it with kid gloves.
