Here are some more photos. Unfortunately, both the top and down tubes are buckled. The 55cm frameset without headset weighs 6.13 lbs, and the frame alone weighs 4.54 lbs. Sorry I don't have better frame pics. The seat stay caps are semi-wrap around.
As I mentioned above, the chrome looks very thin on the tubes, almost as if it's been sprayed on rather than plated, if that makes any sense. I think you can make it out in some of the photos below.
