You can always pull the fork. Most of the Tange forks I have seen are marked on the steering tube.
But I would guess your weight is more about the components and wheels. I bought an $8 digital hanging scale off ebay, and it works well for weighing bikes. My Tange 1 Champion Lotus weighs in at 21 pounds.
